Report #1 - New Release Video
Hey Doc,
It's been awhile since I've sent a report, so here goes:
I had some business in St Louis recently, and decided to see what action I could find. Years ago there used to be a LOT going on at the various theaters on the East Side, but most of those are gone now.
It was a Friday and I decided to start out on the west side of the metro. I found myself at New Release Video in St. Charles, MO. It’s located on the back side of a little strip of businesses and is kind of hard to locate. But if you drive around back and go to the end, you’ll find it.
The place is really small. It has two theaters, one gay one straight. Each only has a few overstuffed leather chairs/sofas. In the rear of each theater is a small room where two people can stand privately and still see out a window. It does not have the intense vibe of the East Side, and guys were cruising and some playing with each other.
About 9:00 pm, two couples arrived and livened up the place. One couple appeared to be first timers. They got a video to play in a private room and from the outside, there didn’t seem to be much going on.
