Adult video store opens on Iowa Ave.

By KEN BLACK, TIMES-REPUBLICAN

Big Earl's, a new adult entertainment establishment located at 207 Iowa Ave. East, has recently opened for business.

Originally intended to be a strip club featuring nude dancing, Big Earl's may now be more of a hybrid, offering retail merchandise, such as adult videos, along with nude dancing. However, the only thing currently being advertised on the marquee sign is the adult video portion of the business.

One report to the Times-Republican did indicate a stage was already constructed for performances.

A call to the store went into an automated voicemail service, which informed there had been no mailboxes set up and therefore it was incapable of taking a message.

Earlier inquiries the T-R made concerning the sign, which was erected in March, were not returned by the property owner, Melvin Bryson.
