Wrote a little eulogy for it. 

 

Perhaps a bit maudlin, but that's how I'm feeling.

These are just those in and around Times Square

The New David.  (It was a palace to ME!)

The New David sounds like the kind of place that had a very distinctive patina by the end.

Taking a little step to the left---back in the 80s on regular visits to NY I used to rush to a place/theater[?] somewhere near Times Square to watch out of work[maybe] chorus boys/male dancers do very provocative,get ya clothes off routines.

There was also meet and greet afterwards and no Playbills to sign.

I'm sure it's no longer there. Anyone else go or remember it's name?

I still fantasise about whoever did that sailors' routine.

Me after reading SweetLips' weird masturbatory memory.

I would have expected nothing less from you MsBarrow-you never let me down-or an opportunity to sling jizm.

And to fantasise does NOT mean masturbate--you are alone in that gutter.
