50commentsManagement update 6/17/2008: we have now been a predominant place for gay men in Ottawa to go to for over ten years! Previous comment 2001: This place has potential! The staff is very friendly, the store is well-stocked, and there's a large video rental area that's in the back of the store. It's not patrolled and 3 rooms make it nice for cruising. I think we should throw more business their way! Update: It now costs $8.

Tightandhardboy: Noon hour is usually busy on Mondays and Fridays. It's often a hit or miss thing though. Owner tells me that evenings are VERY busy lately. Try then after supper/dinner time.

HEY Dr. NB: To answer your question - Place is busy when it opens usually. Off and on during the afternoon It will probably be busy again around supper time or shortly after 6:00 - 6:30 and then until 10. Horn dogs venture out when the sun does down ..;0) It's NOT open on Sundays anymore Hope lots of guys show later. I may go check it out. I am looking to lick and eventually get licked... ;9)

Poor –Scambonie––..self-loathing that has given way to illiteracy, nonsensical rants, the ever-disgusting judgmental attitude, and all presented in a big old mess of dialogue devoid of even a hint of original thought. Oh dear.

Hey Guys Got out earlly for lunch from my meeting ad headed down to 1 in 10. I expected a few guys. The place must have been dead beacise of St. Paddy"s Day festivities. There were only two regulars..one Filipino guy who only likes jacking or jacking others off and another hot buffed older guy who LOVES younger guys. Both nice guys but neither wanted Frankie....I need more than being wanked off by another guy.... Couldn't understand why it was dead from 12:00-1:00...I headed back to work before 1:00 Going back tomorrow and hopefully I can play gobble gobble and get gobbbbbled too ;-) Come one guys..this place is a nice safe place to meet and play.... See ya'all there F the wankie

Sunday - went to 1 in 10 but never went into the back room. Brought Kevin lunch and a coffee and just stood there talking to Kev. Lots of guys going in and coming out. I hope to be checking out the action later this week. More effing meetings on Mon and Tuesday that will creep into lunch hour... Hope to check out the action on Wednesday at noon, or Thirsday at 1:00 (another meeting at 11) or Friday at noon. Weather was glorious today and let's hope those glorious glory holes get filled up too to reflect the great weather we're having. March break...hopefully some hot married guys can slip away to get some ;-) .....lol Hope I get to "bump into" BRODAN again and a few of my fav guys ( I feel like Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music )
