They have been an anchor in downtown Tulsa ever since I can remember.

And, on top of that, I'd say that they have made pretty good improvements on their building exterior. Which is WAY more than you could say for several other downtown properties...

Is it a topless chick with flashing nipples or is it just the store name?

Seriously, my imagination goes crazy on this sort of stuff.  I've got Neon "acts" pictured over here.

If it's the size of the Borden sign Tulsa may make a name for itself.

It's not really new. I think it has been there since they updated the exterior. It simply says "Midtown Adult Theatre" in a redish/pinkish neon.

That one?  Pfffft. 

Huge improvement on the outside of the building. 

Anyone have the guts to tell us if the interior was redone as well?

I've actually been in there fairly recently. I don't know what the inside looked like before, but I wouldn't get that the interior was remodelled. It kinda felt like the 70's in there. LOL

[edit]I want to point out that I did not go into any of the theatres, just the store. :P

Good lord, how big is this sign?  I mean, the ballpark is not even all that close to the Midtown book store is it?  Isn't it 4 blocks from the nearest corner of the ball park site, making it more like 5 or more blocks from the nearest people sitting in the stadium facing towards it?

I measured it, it is 250'x250'

You can find some pics of the inside if you visit their website (http://www.tulsaadultfun.com/photos.htm). As for the sign, I can't find a picture online. If I'm feeling generous, I might drive by on the way home and get a cell-phone picture.

To complain about the sign offending you makes about as much sense as me complaining about all of those churches around town with signs...

I never understood all the outrage placed towards Midtown Adult Theatre.

Curious, why is it the MIDTOWN adult theatre?

Not sure.  Calling our midtown "midtown" is strange unless we have an "uptown".  Do we call any part South "Uptown"?

That pic is taken from the Arnie's parking lot right next to the Blue Dome. I proceeded to drive over to the site of the new stadium. If a path was cleared (taking out a couple of warehouses), then you might be able to see the sign, though I doubt that you could read it.

Assuming the warehouses stay or something else is put in their place, then you can't even see the sign from the ballpark.

Nice detective work TURoby.

I guess "roscoe" is just stirring up some trouble that starts with a captial "T" which rhymes with "P" and that stands for porn.

Here is a news story about the latest stadium rendering, complete with bad pictures of them:

...those pics are useless. I can't figure out what the difference is between the previous design and the new design. Are the pics posted anywhere else?
