Police raiding Paris Adult shop.

[phmzee]

Past by Paris yesterday on mt way to BDD and the barricades are still up to parking lot. There was 4 to 5 pickup trucks backed into entrance. Not sure if that was still LE or cleaning out merchandise!

Quote from the dallas news article.

Through their attorneys, Paris’ co-owner Gary Hartstein and Pandora’s co-owner, Douglas Ernest of Grapevine, declined to comment. Hartstein, the son of a man who screened X-rated movies at St. Louis drive-ins, also co-owns the New Fine Arts chain of adult video shops, where law enforcement conducted interviews Friday.

‘The son of a man who screened x-rated movies’? Well, okay then, lol. And did his mother engage in inappropriate behavior at her senior prom?

Rumor has it that the man who screened x-rated movies also had premarital intercourse a few times before he married.

I've been saying with the new official Korea Town designation they're going to try to clean up the area. Or at the very least clear up anything along the main roads that is overly suspicious.

The City’s highly-touted “Project Safe Neighborhood” covers a pretty broad area of NW Dallas, so moving it to the side streets won’t satisfy their objective. Any noticeable activity is going to get called in by area residents as long as they believe the City will do something about it, as they finally did here. Thanks to the federal funds that accompany PSN Dallas PD will have the resources to follow up on such tips.

It looks like Paris is back open, but not sure in what capacity, anyone know?

I know they pulled the generic V and C from the shelves, based on another monger’s report. I figured that was a no-no. I imagine they are curtailing other products and practices of questionable legality.

I found out a couple of months ago on 12/12 that a new H Mart (the largest Korean-American supermarket chain in the United States) had opened right there late 2025 on Royal Lane and Harry Hines.

I was like WTF?

H Mart?

There?

That's a BAD area of town!!

I LOVE H Mart but you wouldn't catch me dead in that area to shop at that H Mart at night, not even making a quick stop on my way home from Baby Dolls.
