Boystown is on Halsted between Belmont and Addison. You'll meet a ton of people.

I met more people than I could ever count. Just head up to Halsted and Roscoe and go out to the bars.

Google search Windy City Times (gay newspaper): Gay Lesbian Bisexual Trans News - Windy City Times - Windy City Media Group
If you don't care about gay news, you can at least look at the calendar.

Google search "Boystown Chicago": https://www.google.co.jp/webhp?sourc...town%20chicago
Find a link that will show you the venues in this gay neighborhood.

Google search "Andersonville Chicago": https://www.google.co.jp/webhp?sourc...nville+chicago.
Find a link that will show you the venues in this other gay neighborhood.

Use "Reddit - Chicago": https://www.reddit.com/r/chicago/
You may find something through this local discussion board regarding events, news, stories, updates, etc.

Download a gay app for your phone/tablet/etc. and use it. See what's happening around town from locals.
Example: https://play.google.com/store/search...1ljLP8UM&hl=en

Finding and making friends is as easy or hard as you want it to be. I do not find Chicago any harder or easier than other cities I have been to. Play nice. Good luck.

You're better off in Edgewater or near Hollywood Beach (is that Rogers Park technically?). It's cheaper, more laid back, still close to Boystown, and safer at night (Boystown has an an extraordinary number of muggings and burglaries)

Andersonville is the most lovely, family friendly, super gay/lesbian, safe and fun neighborhood. You would love it.
