Opened: This "Show Case of Eroticism" debuted April 12, 1969 and later expanded to include a 24 Hour "Annex" next door. Thanks to Jack Tillmany for sharing this c.1969 photo by Tom Gray that's in his collection. He comments: "Keep in mind that Sixth St. between Howard and Folsom was the heart of San Francisco's Skid Row at that time."
