Northside Neighborhood Overview
Queer As Heck—Shake It, Yacht Club, Tofu
🧭Bordered by: I-74 and Mill Creek to the south, Mill Creek and CSX tracks east toward Camp Washington, city limit by North Bend Road and College Hill to the north, Mount Airy Forest and West Fork Mill Creek to the west, looping back along Beekman Street to I-74
📌Best known for: Shake It Records where you'll spend two hours and $100 on albums you don't need and rowdy Fourth of July parade that's really just a neighborhood-wide party with floats
👕You can spot a Northside local by: thrifted denim, plant tattoos, and a rescue pit mix named something like Beans or Clementine
👍Move here for: Hamilton Avenue eats, from Ethiopian to vegan tacos in a three-block stretchand porch hangs
👎Don't say we didn't warn you about: trains at 3am shaking your entire house, parking theatrics because nobody has driveways, and relentless street festivals like Rock the Block, Northside Fourth, Music Crawl, pick your weekend
✨The general vibe is: Queer arty scruffy neighborly chaos where everyone knows everyone and pride flags fly year-round
tattooed gardeners and vinyl hoarding cyclists who probably also play in three different bands
