June 2021 Cohort

In the third week of June 2007, like clockwork, my friends and I had our Pride weekend planned. Friday nights were spent at The Five Seasons, an Ethiopian restaurant turned gay club, Saturday nights spent at Club Bunns on Greene and Lexington, followed by The Paradox, and Sunday we were at the Pride Block Party. Before the festivities, we’d head to Mondawmin to get fresh new Air Force 1s or Polo Decks, crisp cornrows, and a new outfit.
