Title: High class porn?
Post by: sgrizzle on August 01, 2007, 01:33:37 PM
I was a bit confused when, on my way to El Guapo, I noticed major rehab work being done to the downtown adult theater. Are they fixing it up to sell or are they just trying to bring in a higher caliber of client?

Sgrizzle.... I don't know about the higher clientele... I was going home the other night and drove by the fine establishment that you speak of and saw a guy... he had to have been 50 or so... not in good shape but wearing a pair of daisy duke cuttoffs and a tank top that was way too small. Appeared he was waiting on someone to come out of the store. It was frightening and hilarious all at the sane time..

I noticed that when I was downtown the other day. At first I thought someone was remodeling another old building because it has scaffolding all around it. Then noticed that it looks like they are adding some sort of "contemporary" facade covering up the old brick. What a shame, just the opposite of what everyone else is trying to do in the area.  Then sadly noticed that the "adult theater" sign was untouched and being worked around.

Though I don't read porn, I do try to stay abreast of issues concerning controversy and free-speech rights as the public discourse throbs again and again and again, until I'm lying on the floor, spent and exhausted, but eager to jump into it once more.  But I don't find it titillating.

Drove by this morning.  Are they adding a pyramid shaped exterior to the front corner?  Will it be a giant phallus?

That'd be a special way to enter Blue Dome.

If that's what passes for a Tenderloin district, then there's not much to worry about!

Good cover.

It is probably like an episode of cheers for you at that theater...you walk in and they all yell "grizzle!".

I dropped...um er ah, ahem, drove by this morning.  We have a very nice looking porn shop downtown.

I'm prideful of a kink grocery.  Does that make the sin worse?

I noticed that today too. It's stucco and not great but it's definitely an improvement.

Happened to peak in the building and was able to snap this shot of some early bargain shoppers..

No, but I've heard there are other building materials available for commercial properties. Someone should tell local builders.

Maybe stucco is easy to clean stains.

If they were worried about cleaning it, they should use glass. No wait.. PLEASE DON'T.
