The Philadelphia LGBT Mapping Project
by ilcorago
I know I haven’t posted here in a while, but for the past few months I’ve been focusing my attention on a new Facebook page called the Philadelphia LGBT Mapping Project.
The Mapping Project was inspired by the recent National Park Service LGBTQ Heritage Initiative to identify places across the country that are important to American LGBT history. The broader scope of the project allows me to cover locales in the Philadelphia area that are both inside and outside of the Gayborhood.
You’ll see some of the places in the Gayborhood I’ve covered here, as well as some new spots in the city that you may not be aware had LGBT historical significance.
I’ll be adding new posts here from time to time, but meanwhile take a look at The Philadelphia LGBT Mapping Project on Facebook.
Also, check out the new Google Map version here: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1gyv3dfHs3MS82BHisv8oyZA77Ng

just learned of your article on Alexandria Books and appreciated reading it as I am one of the women who helped open and run it the first year. It was never called a lesbian feminist bookstore, rather just a feminist bookstore. all the rest of the info is correct. thanx for taking note of it as it was a wonderful place for us to gather and share our stories and lives and support for our movement. Eventually I came out. Cannot speak for any of the others. happy new year, we all deserve one.
Thanks so much for your input, Sbeila. It’s great to hear from you.
