Northside :: Noteworthy
While Northside is home to many institutions aimed at social justice, environmental sustainability and promotion of the arts, its support of the GLBT community is singularly notable in the Greater Cincinnati area. The Women's Resource (formerly Crazy Ladies bookstore) supports women, and The Gay and Lesbian Community Center provides educational, cultural and community support for the thriving gay community. These organizations also help plan the annual Gay Pride Parade, which boasts hundreds of gay and straight marchers - individuals, bands, churches, politicians and corporations who want to demonstrate their pride in and support of the GLBT community. It's an unique event that lines the parade route with well-wishers from many communities. The parade begins at Burnet Woods in Clifton/University Heights and extends all the way down Ludlow and Hamilton Avenues to Northside, where it culminates in a huge celebration.
