15th Ave Bookstore

[QUOTE=Honda Ford]First no more nudity in the open theater. There are rooms (with doors) builted behind the screen now for people to play.

Second. The glory holes are gone (seal up).

Third Friday and Saturday nights the party room is couple/single lady only. Couple pays $40 I think.[/QUOTE]

It sounds to me as if they are trying to change the Bookstore from what it was, to a Swingers Club. For the couples who attend, there are much better options, than what is available to them at this place.

Its always been about the money. This is a place that went from $10 to $15 then $20 then $35 for MNF then $55 min for a party. Average guys who go to the theater / booth for sex are not going to pay over $20. And Melrose needs more the $20 to help pay off the spa and pay bills. So yeah they will change this to a couples / swingers place. As for the cops that never was or is a problem. They stopped one car big deal. The cops have never even been inside of Melrose. That's just a scare tactic so they can eventually raise the prices. As if somehow raising prices or turning into a swingers club keeps cops out. News flash cops can go into a swingers club too.

I been going for little over a year n half now and the couple to single men ratio is way off. If they plan on making for couples only it wouldnt last. Unless they charge the couple big $$.

I was there about 8:30 - 9; still Pizza, Wings, and soda, no women in the party room or theatre or booth area.

I did see one open glory hole, and the gyno table is set up in a room behind the screen that was freely accessible, but the joint was pretty dead for a supposed party.

[QUOTE=Myname Is]On the y**** it was advertised for pizza and to watch the game yesterday. At least 5 people i met were also disappointed. Not cool.

Two couples showed up.

The game for those interested Vikings 30 - New Orleans 27. Sound like a good one to me.

All and all a good evening - except for those damn c@ck blockers.

I blame Sheeba , her husband and all those other sluts for all of this in addition to the owner becoming a money hungry POS.

It will bite him in the ass and the place will be closed within the year IMO

Pizza, soda, and MNF ain't worth $35 i can sit in my favorite watering hole and watch the game for a lot less. And if this place stays dead watch that $35 start to increase.

The party room was closed. I have not seen the party room open for almost 2 weeks. And there were couples in the booth area.

To say otherwise would not be truthful.

As for MNF on 10/13 one of the persons behind the counter said there would be no football, pizza, ect.

I am not sure what was to gain my that false post.

I have not been to the play house in weeks, can anyone give me any info on how Friday nights have been lately, no B. S. Please, say between 7-10pm

Thanks

If you don't feel comfortable posting please private message me.

Thanks

Well if this is the case I wont be going back. The owner best rethink cause I think the 20 dollar movie theatre, free booths ( which I never used ) and a play free for all in the theatre was good. Everytime I went there was at least a 100 count head in and out of the 3 hours I was there so 2G is good. Maybe im wrong. I dont know about this joint anymore. I havent been there in a while. Good post will reel me and my friends back. Laters

Here is the real deal about the playhouse, I was there this pm from 8-10. First off it is considered a membership club with a sign posted by the theater that strictly prohibit any recording devices. Next I went in to the theater and straight to the room behind the screen, it exceeded my expectation vs the b. S. Posters talking bad about it, it was relatively large, at least 15 people could easily fit in if not more and it had 2, yes two gynee table and the swing. Next up I went to the booths and again someone was lying thru their teeth, the glory holes were there and not only that, they were probably never boarded up because I did not see one screw or nail hole, so the play areas were fine in my opinion, I actually like that back room. Now for the bad news, not one women was playing, matter of fact, the only woman I saw came in for some toys and did not even go in to the theater or booth area. There were a couple of cd's that were playing in the booths for awhile. So the playhouse was playable so to speak. So here is my take, some bashers who posted for weeks on the other message board basically scared the crappola out of women and couples and play has probably slowed down to a crawl. My opinion is the owners know what they are doing and will get the women back in to the playhouse over time once the fear factor wears off. I would guess it was the owners of cts or whatever its called in indiana who started the smear campaign against melrose. I bet things are back to normal slowly but surely over the fall and winter and will be in good form by the spring, hope this helps. Any other questions pm me.

I wouldn't be so quick to blame the other club for this. Things have fallen off there as well.

Certain members began smear campaigns on their own (remember janetCD) and things at both bookstores began to change with the arrival of sheeba and her crew (including film crew) at both stores.

I personally think that many of the women were scarred off with the frequent video taping and all of the aholes that wanted to take pictures all of the time.

Many of the women came to the bookstores for fun and to satisfy their kinky sides (or their husbands kinky sides). They also have private lives and don't want to be seen all over the internet as with many of the mongers that go there.

So a couple of weeks ago on a Friday night, my girlfriend & I decided to give Melrose a try. We're exceptionally adventurous sexually, and the idea of getting it on either in front of a couple of guys, or playing with another couple, was just too damned enticing to resist.

So, we do our research, discover this forum, read EVERY SINGLE post / comment / whatever here, and in the end, just make the decision to go and see for ourselves on a Friday night when we expect to find at least ONE other couple there. We do make contact with a woman who expresses an interest in meeting us in the spa, but of course, that never happened.

IN ANY EVENT, once the earth cooled and the dinosaurs came and went, we get there around 10, and the place is, indeed, quite dead. We pay for the spa, a private room, theatre access, etc etc, and have to say it wasn't quite as exciting as we thought it might be. There were about 8 or 9 older guys in the theatre masturbating, whatever might have been behind the screen was locked, and the 10 guys in the spa seemed to be waiting for me to give them permission to come in and bang my girl.

HOWEVER, considering that we'd just spent about $70, we decided to make the best of it. We go to the spa, get into our room, I give my girl some words of encouragement, she tells me she's good to go, and we hit the shower. Then into the sauna. Now understand that while she's adventurous, she's NOT Sheba, Femcar, or anyone at that level just yet. Hence, we'd been hoping to meet at LEAST another couple, if for no other reason than to get my girl in the company of another woman, thereby maybe garnering some of the other woman's willingnes, so to speak. As it was, we started to try to make something happen together, but I guess having sex in a very hot, humid room is an aquired taste, ya know?

To bring this whole thing to a close, before we gave it up and left, we stepped outside for some cool air, and Sheba did indeed show up with her hubby. We waited about another 30 minutes, but as we decided to leave, we noticed that she had decided to use the booths, and while it may have been fun to play with her as a couple (and invite another guy or two into the mix, the whole energy of the place just seemed so. Well. Forced.

Sorry. We'd love to give it another go, but our guess is that either we've missed the boat on 15th, it's glory days behind it, or we just didn't do something right. C'est la vie.

Hi all,

I was reading the posts and decided I needed to ask before I wasted my time. I will be visiting chicago for a month starting next weekend and wanted to visit the bookstore as I frequent the bookstore in my area Moviethon. Will it be worth my time? Will there be guys there? I am just looking to have some fun and take as many guys as I can.

Terra SanctaNaw the truth is its all about money and always has been. Merose can't pay off the spa bills with $20 a person. And how many $55+parties is he having? Not enough. So he's out to turn it into a swingers club / gentleman's club then raise the price through the roof. And he got plenty of fall guys to go around. Verizon zombies, disgruntled former group members, cops driving down the street, etc. By x-mas he'll make some goofy announcement about how great these changes are but that he also has to create a membership fee as well as door fees. That's in addition to party fees, spa fees, etc. All the rest of the stuff being posted in the groups is just a smoke screen to raising the prices. Time will tell if I'm right.
