I can't seem to find the origin of this phrase "Viagra Triangle," but according to Richard Roeper: "The Viagra Triangle is a slice of the city bounded by Chicago Avenue, Rush, Maple and State. Take a look at a map and you'll see the area forms a little triangle, inside which you'll find a heavy concentration of bars and restaurants often populated by men of a certain age and income and women of a certain age and ambition. Sure, this is a generalization, but on any given night, you will see men in heavy jewelry getting into $100,000 sports cars with women who look like they've spent the entire day getting ready. And some of those men just might need to take the occasional little blue pill to help them keep up with some of those women."
As I walked through that area tonight, I thought about what he said as I saw those types of people, in addition to the 20-something dolled-up, under-fed women and their same-age group male counterparts. I think it's a magnet for bored suburbanites as well as the urban well-to-do.
