Remind me to never tell you about that time back when I was in college ...

God, this city is so much better than it used to be ...

Isn't it a fire hazard too?

Toby -- it just depends on how "Happy the Ending" is is, etc.

As someone said its a matter of how to "Handle such"

Come-on -- John -- I remmber the walk with the newly arrived MIT frosh through the "Combat Zone" -- aka "how you gonna keep em down on the farm after they've seen"....

the exteriors of:
The Naked Eye
Silver Dollar
Intomission Lounge

the stories mostly apocryphal) about the "skills of the performers"

and posters (mosty real) of "Chesty Morgan"

excuse me -- gotta grab a cold shower

The celluloid is a nice touch, reminding people of the neighborhood's history as a row of movie theatres (which were not porn theatres before the 1960s)

They were already showing naturist movies in the future combat zone in the 1950s. Volleyball, anyone?

which

Jon -- Ah -- perhaps -- but in the 70's there were classics such as the "Post Graduate" in which .... well you get the idea

However -- to be really authentic in the 'homage" to the past uses of the building and its surroundings they need to recreate some of the neon from the heyday of the "Zone"

Nearly done.

“I still don’t know what we’re going to do with our collection of porn films from the 1970s,” Historic Boston executive director Kathy Kottaridis said during yesterday’s celebration of the project. “We still have them over in our Roxbury offices.”

Seriously, though, is she looking to sell them? How many are there? Are they 16mm? Are they complete films? Are they in black & white or color? Are they gay or straight?

I mean, if they're talking $300 it might be worth taking a look to see if there's anything odd scary crazy sexy or frightening.

John ---- we could purchase them with a low interest small business loan

Then we open a ArchBoston subscription channel "Museum of Olde Bostone Porne" -- all ArchBoston members who can remember walking through the Combat Zone get a cut of the action

I was just talking with Kathy. I really, really wanted to ask about the porn but was already a few drinks deep, need a better job, and though better of it.
