American Road Trip 1979 on Kodachrome

X rated color movies cost more than a brothel guide.
Yes... In 1979 Tucson and Phoenix in Arizona had street blocks of them. Mostly in the industrial-manufacturing suburbs of those cities.

I noticed them entirely in passing, of course. Of course...

Thinking back to that era in my life, I distinctly do not recall ever having gone into one such shop - but they were there, and so many of them.

Now, with the inevitable bittersweet deja vu of old age, I wonder if I missed anything. Mine was a sheltered life in many ways.

Of course there are many such shops now in Melbourne and Sydney. So I could... no, I prefer my lofty illusions to dismal realities, the latter of which there are nowadays far too many in our sad world.
