Flash Report! Dry Clean Only Hits Rte 20 News in Rensselaer, NY

Doc here with a quick Flash Report from our good friend, Dry Clean Only.

I'll take mine with medium starch, please.

Hello Doc,

Quick visit to the Route 9 & 20 News in Rensselaer, NY recently... Mid-afternoon weekday was my availability, unfortunately, but the clerk mentioned that lunchtime and 5p-7pm weekdays are the busiest.  

Rte 20 News / Adult World
Rensselaer, NY
When I was there, about 8 guys, all of the confused sort.  It's a weird place. The store is pretty small. There's an arcade which seems to be made out of old office cubicle dividers.  The "theater" is just another division of the large room with office cubicles separating it from the arcade, and there is an presentation-projector of a movie with about 15 movie theater style seats.  
 
You have to press a doorbell to be "buzzed" into the theater by a makeshift door at the back of the theater area.  Fluorescent drop-ceiling lighting, big storefront window covered with something temporary to conceal the view, but lets in a ton of daylight. Good, mostly discrete parking.  Safe neighborhood.  Definitely no allure of the Paris, Video Liquidators, Talk of the Town in Buffalo and Syracuse, or Adult World in Oakland.
 
Probably not worth the visit unless there's advance notice of our types of patrons. Very clean and well kept, though, throughout.  Hoping to drive through Toledo on an upcoming trip to Detroit, and Hartford on the way to Boston over the next couple months.  
 
Doc, there's another Video Liquidators on the south side of Buffalo by the General Mills plants.   Happened across it one day, and it had a number of cars there on an early afternoon weekday. May want to ask for some reports. Neighborhood is not good for after dark visits.
 
Best,
DCO

Thanks,
Doc
