I recall the "warehouse district" being referred to as such in the late 80s, early 90s.
It was the frontier... the cool area.... and sketchy. I was at Capitol City Playhouse a lot then....Where "Fado" is now. We were constantly looking to see what could happen in those great warehouses. We would party in and on the warehouse that was where the first AMLI went in. There were other spaces that we're artist studios. ( specifically where the big white state garage is now).
Soooo.... yeah... there were lots of people paying attending to that area early on and you are right, you can thank the gay bars for finding it first... as always.
