Good Day, Doc...
I was recently traveling to Houston for a weekend and reviewed the infamous “Adult Theater Database” for suggestions. I sought out some input from Houston residents and ultimately one man told me that = the best option was “Discount 24 Hour Video.” He said that it’s known locally as “Pinks” – because the building is pink. Having no knowledge of anything in Houston, I relied on this person’s suggestion as my choice off of “the list.”
It’s located at 730 Highway 6 South in Houston – and that’s my first word of warning. That’s a busy divided highway, and you can’t make a left turn into the place. It sits back from the road and is not well lighted. So plan to arrive with the place on your right, and slow down … if you miss it you will have to start over again, and the turns and U-turns take a while because of the traffic. There’s a DQ almost directly across the street – when you see the DQ coming up on the left, slow down and be prepared for a quick right.

I visited on a Friday night. The front is your standard, not fancy, adult video and paraphernalia store. I approached the counter and acknowledged it was my first visit. They call it a “membership club” and the clerk explained the rules. The cost of the first visit is $15, and you receive a membership card good for a year. Subsequent visits during that year are $10. The rules are lengthy but basic – be polite, you might see nude people, don’t sit out in your car, etc.
