Is it true they're going to rename the town Flyntonville?
I think maybe just that neighborhood.

This is such a strange store. I've walked by a few times - most of the store is visible through the windows - and it really does look like about 75% of the store is just Hustler branded merchandise. Who is this place even for? I'd be shocked if it lasts more than a year, unless Larry has the means to just keep it open at a loss for vanity purposes.

I saw a Hustler honey!! She was about what you'd expect. A tall, thin, chesty extension of a greasy man's arm. Dyed hair and skin, doing the "high heels and tight pencil skirt" perp-walk. He introduced it to his friends as "Brandi."
On a related note, there is a fetish centering around the "bimbo-ification" of women, via hypnosis or brainwashing. I do not think the fetish covers someone doing it to themselves to further their career.
Anyway, that was the only one I saw. The woman handing out flyers at the front door was short and human-shaped, so I'm guessing she was a store employee. There might have been another Hustler honey at the signing table, but she could have been Flynt's P.A.

No one actually mistook Clintonville as a destination point for adult merchandise, and this reality now seems even less likely to change in the foreseeable future. Yet Hustler almost seemed to be betting on its ability to indefinitely sustain the shock value and novelty of locating at C-ville's southern gate as a marketing strategy. Alas, shock value has a shelf life of about three minutes.
In the end, they probably would have been better off setting up shop in the Short North where their market is already well-established.

I'm still scratching my head as to why Hustler thought it viable to put a store there anyway, not to mention how the store got approved in the first place.What about the store other than getting ordinary construction permits needed approved? Basically could they have stopped them because they didn't like what was being sold by Hustler - coffee and dildoes?
