I have recently moved to Calgary, my first time living in a large city, and I have been driving around the city a fair amount in the past week.
In this exploring I have noticed that there is an obscene amount of adult stores. It seems like on any major street there is a porn dealer every two blocks. Now don’t get me wrong I am all for porn, but this seems a tad excessive.
How can all of these stores stay in business? Is Calgary just really horney, or is this common in every major city?
I’d gather you see porn stores in most big cities from my travels - but I am wondering where in Calgary did you see so many? I know on a few of the major roads there are some porn shack like stores, and 17th Ave. has one adult video store plus there are some adult toy stores in the city, but I’ve never really noticed that many in the city.
When I was in Toronto - I was more suprised at the number of adult stores on Younge Street alone.
Huh. I thought Calgary was pretty damned puritan compared to everywhere else I’ve lived. If you think it’s bad there, then stay out of any American city near a military installation.
Must be a prairie thing, I noticed the exact same thing when I lived in Regina. It seemed like on some streets there was nothing but adult video stores and gas stations alternating!
Add me to the wondering list. There are a couple of adult stores in each quadrant, sure, but I don’t notice that there are tons of them. And I come from Saskatoon, which was a Temperance Colony and didn’t even have bars in half of the city until quite recently.
And welcome to Calgary. Where are you coming from, Ludy?
