Parking May Not Be a Trivial Issue for Proposed King Street Porn Shop


Capital Video is proposing to build a 6,222-square-foot porn shop at 135 King Street. Their current plans call for 25 parking spaces, possibly less in the winter due to snow storage.

In 1994, the Union-News made this observation about Bookends, a porn shop in Enfield: “The 44 Enfield St. Bookends, with a refurbished interior and 6,000-square-foot selling floor…features a 7,000-title video selection, and on busy Saturdays caters to between 650 and 900 customers.”

Even if 900 customers aren’t arriving in 900 cars in a single day, we would like to learn more from Capital Video about how their 25-space parking lot would handle volumes on the scale seen at Bookends.
