The city’s South Side\, however\, had lively LGBTQIA+ activity generations before any North Side neighborhood and frequently shaped culture across the nation. This tour with Mike McMains of Tours with Mike puts a spotlight on the South Loop’s and Bronzeville’s fascinating neighborhood evolutions along with their hidden LGBTQIA+ histories\, including the: \n\n“Mother of the Blues” and the “Godfather of House Music”\nDrag ball scene drawing diverse crowds from across the city\nFirst Black woman playwright to have a show on Broadway\nCity’s most notorious former vice districts\nLegendary sites shaping house music\n\nAttendees can enhance their tour experience by using their smartphones to view historical photographs related to the tour topics. \n$50\, $45 members \nTour runs approximately 90–120 minutes.
