Flash Report! First Time Reporter JPT Hits Houston's Pinks (Discount 24 Hour Video) in November, 2019

Doc here, a man who some say is packing his bags for his next out-of-town business trip to Atlanta, focused squarely on a Varsity hot dog.

Today we welcome first time reporter (but long time listener) JPT, and his detail-packed report from November 15th and 16th of this year from Houston.

Take it away, JPT!

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.” 
Pinks - 24 Hour Video
Houston, TX
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.
