Tour of Duty 2012 - Chapter 6 with Old Marine Corps Guy - Hollywood's Studs Theater


Doc here with Chapter 6 of Old Marine Corps Guy's "Tour of Duty 2012". In this series, Old OMCG is taking us through Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Diego.

This report focuses on Studs on Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood.  I've been there, as I wanted to see what once was the flagship of the old Pussycat Theater chain in the 70's and 80's. It was an eye opener, that's for sure.

OK, enough with the pleasanties... Let's get down to brass tacks...  Here is Old Marine Corps Guy and his review of Studs Theater.
