Saying Goodbye To Machine And Ramrod, Fenway's Last Lgbtq+ Nightlife Spots
The site of so much gay history in Boston is lovely boring from the outside, just a squat gray building that stretches a whole block on Boylston near Fenway Park. Right now, the bars and storefronts that fill this building are empty as they await the wrecking ball that will usher in a future luxury apartment building.
