We're always delighted to see (and to actually hear about) another gay group or business in Seattle making its way onto the web. CC Attle's is the latest to jump into this umm... what must seem to some, new-fangled technology. The bar's new website features a menu, events calendar, gallery, and map. But, of course, if you'd like a map that includes even more bars, we still suggest you head over to gaybars.ttca.org , where we (in our virtual, and always-plural, persona as TTCA's "webwrangler" ) do our best to keep up with the locations from our hermit's roost. ...

A series of related stories will sometimes cross the web-wires that we watch for Qnews without any obvious tie-in -- no book tour on the subject, no national news item to provide a hook for the local stories. So it was last weekend when at least three daily papers ran stories about apparently unrelated local events, but with a common theme: gay neighborhoods that flowered in the 70s or 80s are now withering. In Dallas, the Morning News recorded the likely passing at the end of the year of a gay bookstore in the city's Crossroads neighborhood. Opened as a junk store on Dec. 5, 1980, Crossroads...

At Slog, Savage suggests that the space about to be vacated by the not-lamented Sugar might present a good location for the about to be evicted Pony -- which was, after all, created in the very short-term in that space that will be torn down. But, as often happens on Slog, the comments are as interesting as the original post. After a few bar history comments that miss the history of the nabe's gay spaces, "Daddy Jeff" offers this great bit of history reminding us that Savage's suggestion would take us forward into the past: Here is some the back story on the Sugar space. The guys...

Bill W. at GaySeattle.blogspot (whose headlines, by the way, are always available on seaQwa 's homepage under the Qdo heading) has a great piece -- The Impending Death of the Gay Bar -- on one aspect of the much-discussed and ever-changing gayborhoods. I suppose as the young gays get older and the old gays “get put out to pasture” this idea of the "gay bar” may be dramatically different than it ever has been. Even today so many of the new gay clubs are actually “pseudo gay” and really catering to straights who want the nostalgic feeling that they’re in a gay club. When traveling, gays...
