490 N Robert St, St Paul, MN (2007-Present)
Trixx Bar Advertisement. From Lavender Magazine, 2002 |
Gay bars use the Rossmor Building in downtown St. Paul like a revolving door—The Grand Finale, Rumours and Innuendo, Club Vogue, Rocky’s on 10th, and Trixx compose an almost-continuous list of queer use in the building since 1977. A former shoe factory, the structure’s attraction may be the result of queer migration.
|
In part, these changes accompany an evolving self-perception of gay and bisexual men.
