midland-video-0109.jpgThere may be more and more artists in Sunset Park, but there are also quite a few adult video stores, a fact that has residents increasingly up in arms. In fact, the melting-pot neighborhood has as many as 25 porn shops and peep shows, reports The Daily News. “Our community has been dumped on,” said Community Board 7 Chairman Randolph Peers. “Mothers can’t bring their children to school without exposing them to things they shouldn’t see,” said Gloria Hidalgo, 70, one of 200 Sunset Park residents who signed a petition calling for the shops to be closed. The shop owners say there’s no cause for concern. Here’s the money-shot quote from Gamage Prabath, an employee at Midland Video at 4106 Third Avenue: “They arrive at their sexual satisfaction here, so therefore the children and the ladies on the street are safe.” At least he’s not beating around the bush. And if they need an alternate local to “arrive at their sexual satisfaction,” well, there’s always a McSam hotel!

  1. “glory holes are gross. i cant imagine why someone would ever visit one. arent you afraid of a psycho biting your hoohoo off or something? creepy.”

    Make sure they take their dentures out! Ask the What, he seems an expert in this area.

  2. I don’t get all the complaints. These are all located on Third Avenue. DIBS, you can stop by on your way to Costco!

    Nobody walks on Third Avenue unless they work in those industrial buildings. They’ve been there for years and years with no complaints. I imagine they used to ‘service’ sailors off the piers there. As the piers are gone, there’s still a large constituency of factory workers and what not near by.

  3. that is awesome. sunset park is along the r line right? im one of those people who doesnt believe in porn on the computer, i prefer old school dvd porn and a big tv. i might stop at some of these places when i get paid soon! are there any specific stores that anyone could recommend as good? specially ones that have cheap-0 gay compilation dvds in budget bins? honestly id rather pay 10 bux for a 5 hour dvd with 30 scenes than a 40 dollar dvd with like 3 scenes. there’s always a couple of good scenes on the compilation ones mixed in with the schlock.

    these stores are also very good for the economy regardless of what people say. doesnt matter what the economy is like people still need to drink, smoke, eat, and rub one out.
