Yesterday, suddenly, the Hustler of Hollywood store next to The Laugh Factory on Broadway put paper in the windows and closed. When we went by this afternoon, there was a sign in the window that alluded to a new location, however, when we able to get ahold of one of the two workers packing boxes, they said there was no new location. Sadly, the other worker was packing bras into a cardboard box and was a little misty eyed when she said, "We can't talk about it."

And to think, Ron Jeremy was here on this hallowed ground the day Movember ended last year. We never would have thought that this wouldn't have been perfect for Lakeview but for the store to only be open a year and a few months makes us question Larry Flynt's stamina.
