A Few Minutes With Dr. Emilio - March 4, 2011

















When we last left The Good Doctor, he had just been hit by a golf ball from Old Marine Corps Guy in the side of neck after wandering onto the 4th fairway...

Doc here with this week's installment of AFMWDE.  You know the drill...A lead story, a few adult theater nuggets, and a photo of The Good Doctor in a public place.  Let's get started.

The Lead Story
The big news this week from this thing of ours' was The Journal's breaking news of Fantasyland 2 in Tampa, FL (story HERE). When The Good Doctor was in Tampa in November, the original Fantasyland was hopping that weekend.  The other theaters (Thee Love Shack, The Playhouse, and the Adult Cinema on Grady) were not at all.

In February, I published a report from a Journal reporter stating that the Adult Cinema on Grady seemed closed.  Hmm..The plot thickens.  I had not received any reports of the closing, or read any on message boards.  So what was going on here?

What was going on was that Fantasyland took over The Adult Cinema and was turning it into Fantasyland 2.  Fatasyland is only a few blocks away from FL2, so what is the business strategy?  Only time will tell once it opens, and The Journal will be on this story like hair on a goat.  Stay tuned...

The Nuggets
  • Thank you to you, the good readers of The Journal of Adult Theaters.  This past week saw The Journal reach 80,000 unique visitors, as well as the 250,000th page view.  Each day when reviewing the visit reports, I'm astounded that there is this much interest in this thing of ours'.  The visit map on the right hand side of The Journal shows all the different countries that have visited since December... Still waiting for Antarctica to check in however.
  • My good friend and colleague, Major Voyeur, has been keeping a close eye on the new and very restrictive Missouri adult business laws that went into effect of the last week.  One outstanding question is the status of Pure Pleasure, an ABS/adult theater complex in St. Louis that was getting quite alot of activity from couples.  When he has word on PP's status, I will get that information out to you, the good readers of The Journal.
  • Speaking of the St. Louis area, there will be a party this evening (March 4) at The Colony Adult Theater and Cocktails, 4500 Washington Blvd. in East St. Louis, IL.  Here is the nitty gritty, courtesy of Major Voyeur:

    The next party at the Colony will be this Friday March 4th. Sorry I waited till the last minute to post. Prices are $40.00 a single and $60.00 a couple. Couples get $5.00 back when you return the couples only theater key. These prices include all your drinks and snacks from 8:00 p.m. till 3:00 a.m. Hope you can make it.
  • 15th Avenue Adult Books and Adult Theater (& Spa) has been gaining momentum week after week with more couples attending, in particular during the week and weekdays.  If you follow me on Twitter, you already know how many couples are making their way to the western burbs of Chicago.  The address is 2125 North 15th Ave., Melrose Park, IL.  Keep an eye on my Tweets for the latest from 15th Ave.
  • Brent from Brent's Theater Tails Yahoo Group has been publishing a few reports from the Brent Archives, and they are doosies. I will repost them when I can, because they are THAT good.  I will have an new one up by tomorrow and you should not miss.
  • I need new adult theater reports from across the country.  Whether you are in Portland, Seattle, Dallas, Warren OH, Buffalo, Tampa, Toledo, Birmingham, Atlanta, or anywhere else, we want to know what is going on in your back yard.  Just e-mail The Good Doctor at emiliolizardo1@gmail.com. Thanks!
That's it folks for this week.  I need to put some ice on this welt on my neck from that golf ball.

Have a great and safe weekend.
