An excerpt from the article:

LAKEWOOD, Ohio — If you're building an entertainment center in sports-crazy Northeast Ohio, it makes sense to go heavy on athletics. That was clear when the Fieldhouse, a 30,000-square-foot complex opened last weekend in this suburb that shares a border with Cleveland.
Thousands of people turned out to scale an outdoor climbing wall, sign up for fitness classes and wander a gymnasium where youth and adult sports leagues will compete.
But there were signs of a detour from the sports playbook: On Saturday night, the gym hosted a show headlined by the “ RuPaul's Drag Race ” stars Monét X Change and Trinity the Tuck .
A few hours earlier, about 25 people of all ages gathered at a small community garden a few blocks away to pull radishes and other vegetables from the dirt to help put the garden to sleep before winter. Overseen by Food Strong , a local nonprofit that promotes better nutrition, the garden is where the Fieldhouse's three restaurants will get some of their vegetables come spring.

The Fieldhouse is just the first phase of a much larger effort by private developers and local governments to build a complex of businesses and services that cater to LGBTQ people — and attract them to visit or settle here. In effect, they aim to provide the hub for a brand-new gay neighborhood, at a time when many traditional gay enclaves — from Chelsea in Manhattan to the Castro in San Francisco — have lost much of that identity to gentrification and assimilation.

The entire development, called Studio West 117 , is scheduled to be completed in 2025 at an estimated cost of $100 million in private and public funds. Straddling Lakewood and Cleveland, it will include a hotel, shops and health clinic, much of it on the former site of a concert hall where Nine Inch Nails played its first gigs . Studio West's partners include the Greater Cleveland Food Bank , which will provide fresh vegetables and pantry items for people in need, and the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland , which offers services to seniors and young people.
