Flash Report! A Pre-Blizzard Visit to Buffalo's Video Liquidators by Senior Journal Reporter Dry Clean Only in December 2022!

Doc here, a man who some say once roamed the mean streets of Buffalo NY. Streets that once were the home of the Capri Art Theater. Streets where The Good Doctor honed his craft, as well as several nice ladies over the years. He may have moved away to a windier place near the small women's liberal arts college, but still calls WNY home.

But his old hometown? In December? It's still bringing it...

Senior Journal Reporter, my good friend Dry Clean Only, lit up the teletype machine in the Journal HQ a few days ago, and out popped a banging new report from my old stomping grounds.  The location? Video Liquidators on Elmwood Ave. in Buffalo. 

This report could be a Ted Talk on proper adult theater behavior for single guys. Patience and respect was given to a great couple, and they were rewarded with a great scene. 

Take it away, kind sir!

***

DCO log, theaterdate December 2019, whoops, make that 2022 — where has the time gone?! 

My destination was business in the Nickel City, Buffalo NY. It was a midweek, cold-weather visit that would send most visitors from afar to the their cozy beds at the nearest Marriott after office hours, but not this intrepid Field Reporter for the esteemed Dr. Emilio Lizardo’s Journal of Adult Theaters. 

Video Liquidators, Buffalo NY

The venue of choice for this evening’s adventure was Video Liquidators (address in the Adult Theater dB) on Elmwood Avenue (not the be confused with a different location without a theater). As I entered the garage, there were at least eight cars there — a great sign the cold, weeknight visit wouldn’t be a busy one. 

Visitors of this particular venue have some amenities here that distinguish VL Elmwood from so many others I’ve visited during my tenure with The Journal: 

• secure, covered, private parking garage behind the theater for about forty vehicles… great for when the cold winds are whipping or the lake effect snow is blanketing the area 
• a clean, well-lit 1000sqft or so retail section with a large assortment of the usual suspects: vibes, outfits, restraints, videos, etc. *friendly, unassuming clerks 
• separate men’s and women’s restrooms 
• new video booths for one or more viewers with all the latest media and tech. However the old school tech is missing (no gloryholes). 
• two theaters with hard plastic stadium seating and large, bright projection screens. One theater still shows straight stuff, and the other still sticks to the gay male and bi genres. They are clean, too.

I started out in the booths to better ease my transition from work to sin — and to let my eyes adjust from retail to theater mode. I always appreciate the booths as a place to do this, and as a place to check the phone and pass some time when the theater isn’t entertaining. As readers should know, phone use is usually prohibited in the theaters and is definitely a turnoff for most singles and couples who want to let loose in that environment. (ed. note: GREAT POINT!)

After a suitable warm-up I checked the theater next to the booths (which is the gay/bi theater): no one was there. A surer bet that something was up in the other theater. And sure enough there was! 

About six guys were spread out at respectful viewing distance from a late 50s, attractive couple, silhouetted against the movie as I viewed them from the entrance at the back of the long and narrow theater. They were positioned about 2/3 of the way toward the movie screen and he was laying on his back, undressed, while his companion rode cowgirl, bra still on. I took a seat nearby and it wasn’t long before he waved me closer. 

This couple was slowly going through all the motions, but wasn’t looking for other participants, just voyeurs, though he did have me removed her bra and place it on a nearby chair. So I then happily sat and watched from a couple of different positions as they pleasured each other — and in many ways we single guys, too — from their position just a couple feet away from us. 

The movie played on and so did they, eventually finishing with her standing, arms outstretched to the back of chair, facing the rest of us as her man brought her to a very pleasurable orgasm and finally a tender embrace before they clothed and left us. 

Doc, once again, the chances of fun on a midweek, cold-weather visit aren’t to be underestimated in this thing of ours. And for new readers, the biggest lesson here isn’t in that message but rather in this one: The single guys knew to give the couple space, let them do their thing at their own pace, and to take the lead and direction of the “guiding partner”. In this case the couple knew they didn’t want to play with others and the guy also knew how to bring the guys closer for everyone’s pleasure, and the guys knew that it didn’t mean it was an invitation to get greedy. 

Bravo to the gents in this crowd. And many thanks to this couple for sharing themselves. And many thanks to Doc for introducing us to this world and keeping at this great endeavor of his. Happy and healthy holidays to all.

~DCO~

Doc here again... Many, many thanks to my good friend Dry Clean Only for another outstanding report from the front lines of this thing of ours. Bravo, sir!

This Video Liquidators location is ENORMOUS. It has one of the biggest retail sales floors this side of Tokyo Valentino in Atlanta, PLUS two large adult theaters AND COVERED PARKING.  I'm glad to hear that things are going well at VL!

Keep the cards and letters coming!

Have an adult theater report? Please e-mail me at emiliolizardo1@gmail.com , and please remember to include the name of the theater, address, date of the visit, and a pen name for your byline. Don't worry about your writing style or editing, as I'll take care of that for you.

Thanks,

A Tradition Like None Other: The Hanging of The Wreath of Khan on the Night Before Christmas

Doc here, a man who some say was once the centerfold in a 1977 Fingerhut holiday catalog, posing alongside a selection of colorful men's rompers.

It's Christmas Eve, and in a tradition longer than a lunchtime, the entire Lizardo family gathers to hang the Wreath of Khan on the front door of the home of The Journal of Adult Theaters, Lizardo Manor. 

Another tradition at Lizardo Manor is the reading of The Night Before Christmas, albeit it a slightly different form some may find upsetting or unnatural. 

Enjoy this adult theater skewed version of this holiday classic! 

'Twas the night before Christmas, across this thing of ours,
Not a creature was stirring, not even in a lifestyle club;
Fishnet stockings were hung by the Secret Room with care,
In hopes that Dr. Lizardo soon would be there;

The damsels were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of butt plugs danced in their heads;
And mamma in her corset, and I in my Yankees cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of a lady named Swallow,
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny dears,

With a little old doctor, so girthy, wearing a smock,
I knew in a moment it might be the Ol' Doc.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, MRS. HD! now, JEAN! now, GINGER and VIXX69!
On, BAD BARBI! on AMAZING LIZ! on, PIPER and GLORYHOLE NANCY
To the top of the porch! to the hole in the wall!
Now flash away! flash away! flash away all!"

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof some clues,
The prancing and pawing of sexy shoes.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the shaft Ol' Lizardo came with a bound.

He was dressed all in white, from his head to his shoes,
And his clothes were all tarnished with lipstick and a little ooze;
A bundle of sex toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a perv just opening his pack.

His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His butt cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His mustached lip was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

He was chesty and plump, possibly on the prowl,
And I laughed when I saw him, as he started to howl;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke only Italian, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the fishnet stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the shaft he rose;

He sprang to his sleigh, to his girls gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!

Flash Report! MaXXXimumMilf Hits Airport Video in Everett, WA for an Afternoon Delight in November, 2022 (w/PICS!)

Doc here, a man who some say starred as the pesky neighbor kid in the 1970's made for TV movie, "Where's Mr. Weber's Pants?".  

There are few things I enjoy more than reports from first-time contributors. OK, maybe cannoli is first, but then it's first-time Journal reports. 

Today we welcome to The Journal of Adult Theaters the awesome MaXXXimumMilf! In her first report, MM hits the legendary Airport Video in Everett, WA (address is the Adult Theater dB).

This is a nice soup-to-nuts report from the POV of sexy & naughty PNW MILF. 

Here we go!

***

Hello Good Doctor,

I am an amateur model and content creator on Pornhub and OnlyFans known as MaXXXimumMilf. My husband goes by Gntlmstr online. I'm a Hotwife that plays mostly in the greater Seattle area, including at Secrets (RIP). Covid put a real kink in this thing of ours we do, but we did manage an adult theater tour road trip we took through Idaho, Colorado, and Texas over a few weeks in the summer of 2021. 

Thanksgiving Main Course! Salina Theaterslut Serves Up a TON of Goodness & is Coming To an Adult Theater Near You in 2023 (w/19 Pics!)

Doc here, a man who some say just got of his local urgent care facility due to an overdose of tryptophan from yesterday's feast at Lizardo Manor, located in The Valley near the small women's liberal arts college. 

Our Thanksgiving main course, courtesy of the insatiable Salina Theaterslut, is a bit late hitting the front page of The Journal. The blog editing tool didn't like something, and kept bouncing it back.  The bad news is that I had to re-write & format the report. The good news is that it worked, and you (the fine readers of this Journal) can reap it's rewards (and dirty words & pics)!

If you missed the first 2 courses from The Journal's Thanksgiving feast, you can find them HERE and HERE.

A Thanksgiving 2nd Course! A Delicious California Dish! The San Diego Smokeshow Returns with 3 NEW Pics!

 Doc here, a man who some say is known throughout San Diego as THAT guy standing in that adult theater parking lot at 11pm next to THAT pickup truck with THAT hotwife doing THAT thing.

Our Thanksgiving meal is now underway, and it's time for our 2nd course of the day. How about a delicious SoCal dish?

Ladies & gentlemen of The Journal, please welcome back to our pages, my good friend The San Diego Smokeshow!

The SDSS has graced us with three brand new images right out the oven, and they are HOT (don't burn your tongue - the day is young)!

Many, many thanks to The San Diego Smokeshow, and her partner in crime, LI, for bringing this dish! I don't know about you, but I'd much rather savor this experience than hearing about your uncle's bad foot at the Thanksgiving table.  You with me?

Please enjoy this tasty dish, and later today your old friend in the white suit and aviators will be wheeling out our large main course. 

There will be nudity.

There will be questionable behavior.

There will be dirty words. 

And, you've never seen her on the pages of The Journal before.

It'll hit this evening at The Journal. I'll Tweet out a time later, since I need to get a turkey on a plate right now. 

Thanks,

Doc

Flash Report! HandsOn Hits Odyssey Showgirls in Muskegon Heights, MI in September 2022!

 

Doc here, a man who some say held the record for the largest melanzana grown in upstate NY in the early 1990's: 78 lbs.  Three days later, it was stolen in a daring overnight heist. 

Thanksgiving is here, and with it's arrival, a three course meal of reports to satisfy your organs not stuffed with turkey and cranberry sauce. 

First up, your antipasti course. 

Please meet HandsOn, a brand new reporter here at The Journal. In his debut report, Hands On hits Odyssey Showgirls, 700 East Broadway Ave. in Muskegon Heights, MI for a look-see. 

Take it away, sir!

***

Hey there Doc,

HandsOn here! A few months back I made a trip up to Muskegon Heights, MI, where I stopped into Odyssey Showgirls. 

Odyssey Showgirls & Entertainment
Muskegon Heights, MI

The building is in your standard adult theater / strip club style area not far off the expressway. I would consider this a mildly industrial area with some car shops and boat storage. 

Odyssey opens around 10AM everyday for the adult theater and booths. When you walk into the shop, there is a gentleman’s club on your left that doesn’t generally open until until 6P.M. Directly in front of the main doors is a cashiers booth, where they charge admission into the adult arcade. Next to that is a small store with sex toys, novelties, and some lingerie. 

After paying a small admission fee you turn to your right and walk down a small hallway where an open doorway leads to a wide open theater with several seats and a big screen. While facing the theater screen on the right side there is a plexiglass walled off section for couples, with a separate big screen, but entirely see through for play. 

On the left side there is a group of booths with porn playing, glory holes and a shower curtain to close off the booth. In the rear of the theater is another separate smaller room playing all gay porn. 

The theater is a one time fee for entry and all of the booths are free playing with the screens playing either gay or straight porn. The theater scene was all male, which isn't uncommon. After talking with a few fellas inside, they advised that they all frequent the establishment but rarely see women there. 

While chatting a CD came in wearing a pair of daisy dukes and an open top. After  watching the guys in different booths and talking on the phone for a bit, the CD came and sat down to chat. After some brief conversation she advised that she has been coming for years but some clerks will not allow her in there when dressed. She also advised that best time to find couples or single females is in the late evening when the strip club is open, but only in the summer time when out of towners are in for vacation. 

Other than that the couches were worn and the theater was a touch dirty. It had that old feeling like it was a draw but not a money maker for the club, so they were letting it slip. Overall it was an experience not what I was looking for, but hopefully a review will juice up the scene for my next visit. 

Thanks for reading my first submission and I hope you give Odyssey Showgirls a try when in that neck of the woods.

HandsOn

Doc here again... Many thanks to HandsOn for his first report, and we look forward to his next adventures!  Welcome to the team, sir!

Flash Report! Raygun Hits 18 & Above in Clinton, IA and TR Video in Davenport, IA in July 2022 (with Pics!)

Doc here, a man who some say once built an adult theater in the middle of a cornfield in Iowa.  An otherworldly voice was heard coming from the corn... Build it, and they will come. 

Another esteemed visitor recently hit Iowa, none other than senior Journal contributor, Raygun !  Raygun hit two different locations in this thing of ours, and has words and pics to back up his travelogue from 18 & Above in Clinton, IA, and TR Video in Davenport, IA. 

Folks, pop open a Fresca (Hi Gemini!), and enjoy the wordsmithing of my good friend Raygun!

***

Life on the Mississippi

Doc,

No, this isn't a Mark Twain story and I didn't make another trip to Hannibal, MO. Instead, I took a short road trip to visit two adult bookstores in Clinton and Davenport, Iowa.

First up is 18 & Above in the old downtown area of Clinton at 135 5th Ave S, within view of the bridge across the Mississippi and practically across the street from Clinton's finest building, Louis H. Sullivan’s Van Allen Department Store, a reminder of better days for this river town. There's a small store in front with an arcade and theater in back. Arcade admission is $8 for an all-day pass and they're open daily from 10am to 10pm except Sundays when the shop is closed.

18 & Beyond
Clinton, IA

The arcade has three private booths, four buddy booths, and four booths with gloryholes. There's an extensive selection of movies and even an option to view live models chaterbate-style. In addition, there's a 15-seat theater. The entire arcade is pretty dark, which I liked. It's a no-hassle kind of place where you can hang out all day or come and go as you please. I doubt they see much couple action, but I didn't ask, and you never know. 

18 & Beyond
Clinton, IA

My favorite off-beat feature was a bin of random stuff offered free for the taking: knickknacks, VHS tapes, and odd stuff no one seems to want, but as the sign says: "Take it if you can use it."

18 & Beyond
Clinton, IA

My second stop was T.R. Video on the northwest side of Davenport at 3727 Hickory Grove Rd. An all-day pass is $10 and good until closing as 12:30am, although Shirley the cashier said she didn't expect anyone to be there by then.

TR Video
Davenport, IA

T.R. Video is a two-story building with an adult store on the ground floor and arcade above. I was there once before, maybe 30 years ago, but it's been through a lot of changes since then. The arcade occupies only about half of the second floor. The front half seems to be an abandoned remodeling that would have added lots of small one-person video booths too small for any kind of action. I'm sure the regular patrons are relieved that never happened.

TR Video
Davenport, IA

As it is, the arcade has an open lounge area with large screen TV, 4 small booths, 5 larger booths labeled "theater" with a designated occupancy of two, and 4 unusual U-shaped booths. 

TR Video
Davenport, IA

The U-shaped booths have a door at the top of one leg, a TV screen at the bottom of the U, and a bench at the end of the other leg. The seat and door are separated by a wall with a waist-high opening at the bottom. Basically, it's the biggest gloryhole you've ever seen. It's an odd arrangement, but it seems to be popular.

TR Video
Davenport, IA

Movies run continuously with only one movie playing in each booth and no choice of channels. The place was fairly busy early afternoon with about ten guys there during my visit. The woman working the counter told me the do get couples occasionally, but it's unpredictable.

There's a third store I had hoped to visit, but it was closed the day I was there. I'll have to save that for a future report.

Raygun

***

Doc here again... Many thanks to Raygun for an outstanding two-fer of reports from the highways and bi-ways of Iowa. Keep the cards and letters coming in, sir!

I like the set-up at TR Video, and I think it has some great potential to be a cool destination in this thing of ours!  

Thanks,

Doc

Field Report! The Norkler Hits Love Toys in Clearwater, FL in August 2022!

Doc here, a man who some say put gator wrasslin' on the map in small parts of New York State in the early 70's. 

Please meet The Norkler, a long time Lizardo reader, and now a card carrying member of the Journal Hall of Scribes.  He has submitted a quick and dirty Field Report for a location in Florida I was unaware of:  Love Toys in Clearwater, FL. 

Here's the skinny:

Hello Doc!

Love your parties!

Here is a theater I didn’t see on your database. 5$ gets you a mini-theater with 8 seats and 3 booths and a separate arcade with 8 booths. No holes.

No doors on booth but angle entrance, so you get a surprise when you peek in. LOL.


Love Toys
6535 142nd Ave N
Clearwater Fl

I know I checked it out and went over to Fantasyland and had a good time

Thank you for the parties and your database!

The Norkler

Doc here again... Thank you to The Norkler, and for his first report here at The Journal.  Adding new and/or unknown venues to The Good Doctor's Adult Theater Database is always a good thing. Keep the cards and letters coming!

Thanks,

Doc
