cruiser Update 1/22/2008: This place has changed completely. All other comments are prior to 2004!
Here is some updated information:
Hours: 24 hours a day
Thy have a large peep show room with dimmed lights that has 12 or 14 booths in it. The doors lock except some of them sometimes don't line up correctly. 2 sets of booths are "buddy booths". One booth is handicapped accessible. The booths take tokens and you have to buy $3 worth of tokens to enter the peep show room. The booths also take dollar bills and you can get more tokens from a machine in the peep show room. There are no s.
The front of the store is also remodeled with a nice display of toys and y outfits. They also have some preview booths.
The workers don't hassle anyone and I have never seen them enter the peep show room.
The clientel is mixed. There are lots of young college students (since it is somewhat near campus) and older guys also. There are some women that usually frequent the front store area. It is comfortable enough for women that it is not uncommon to see women alone browsing the shelves of toys. Couples also browse the front room. I have never seen a woman in the peep show room, but I know couples (MF, FF, MM) do preview videos. There are mostly women who work there at the desk.
Generally, it is a nice, clean place to go with no hassles from the staff or the police.
Previous comments approx May 2000: Numbers 1 through 12 have s, six s, one between each two booths. Doors lock and your activities are just between you and the other person in the next booth. Booths 13 and up usually have two chairs and anything goes. Enjoy!

I was there this past week for the first time and didn't get squat. The place is VERY clean and the clerk was very nice, overall I was impressed. Just two people came in during the couple of hours I was there. One older guy said it's slow during the summer but picks up when college starts up and said quite a few college boys come in. I will be going thru there again in Oct. so I'll just have stop in again.
