Hey Doc,

I stopped by CVE yesterday evening for a few hours. As I think you have heard, they have completely redone the place. The booths are gone. In their place are two new theaters. They are smaller than the main theater, but just as clean. One was showing a gay movie, the other straight. The old theater is still there and is still showing hardcore.

A few minutes after I arrived a couple showed up, but it was pretty apparent that they were not going to play. They struck me as first timers. She was dressed in jeans and mostly just giggled as they stood in the back and watched the movie for a few minutes. Then they were gone. Perhaps they had come in to shop and decided to take a quick peek. Once they satisfied their curiosity they moved on.

A bit later another couple came in. She wore a denim shirt and tank top. She was a short bbw. They watched the movie in the main theater for a long time, then went our to the lounge area for a smoke where they stayed for better than an hour. In fact, they were still sitting there when I left.
There were maybe 5 other guys while I was there. One of them was a pretty chatty regular. He says that couples are few and far between these days, especially on weekdays. Large signs were posted in several locations warning of the possibility of law enforcement showing up. That may explain the lack of clientele.

Overall, the vibe of the place is different. The staff now seems guarded and suspicious, which is a far cry from what they used to be. Also, they changed the old smoking room into a video "sweepstakes" room, moving the smoking area into the lounge. You have to pass through this area to get back and forth to the theaters. As a non-smoker, I wish they could find another place for it. I think non-smoking husbands of suspicious wives would prefer that they would change that, too.
I'll have to try to get by on a weekend to see what it feels like then.
