Not necessarily closeted lol but yah, it has been in the past one of, if not the most popular cruising spot in the city but in the last few years with new residents coming up and the cleaning up of the cour de voirie, there has been more police surveillance in the area which has led a lot of people to not go there anymore.
And I don’t think this is the place to start a discussion on the acceptability of cruising, but people must know that whether they like it or not, it happens in many places in the city in places shielded from the view of most people and that the ‘loss’ of this space for cruisers just means they will go to another space.
