“Longtime adult film store, The Movie Place on Tremont Street [in the South End of Boston], is closing its doors for good on May 31. The store, which carries adult movies for a predominately gay male clientele, is one of the last gay-owned and gay-themed storefronts on the street and has been in that location for more than 20 years.
“’We’re going because the neighborhood has changed,’ said owner Mark Adams, who lives on Chandler Street. Adams says he moved the business to the South End at a time when the neighborhood was a hub of gay and lesbian activity, but that over the last five years, the gay community has been moving out — and taking their business with them.”–baywindows.com
