Houston 420 (formerly Talk of the Town) @ Richmond
This is the oldest, continuously operated gay adult bookstore/video/arcade in Houston (first visited it in 1975, although was in a different building; had 8mm movies in the booths then). No s, but no place else in town has them either. Fairly clean, but with hideous yellow paint on walls and very lit up. 11/19/04 A cruiser reports: The original gay bookstore. Alas, no more s. Hit & Miss. Go to the back, leave doors open so monitor camera cant see traffic in/out. Had a hot session with a TV cross dresser here. Racially diverse, young crowd in late afternoon.
