PLEASE Tell Me They Will Clean The Seats
Former Adult Theater May Become Family BuffetSACRAMENTO (CBS) ― Instead of attracting naughty customers, a former adult theater in California could soon be catering to hungry patrons. With the Regency XXX Theatre now out of business, potential buyers are making offers on the property. According to the Sacramento Business Journal, the Golden Corral buffet chain would like to put a family-style restaurant here, reported CBS station KOVR-TV in Sacramento. Some neighboring property owners are applauding the possibility. "They were good neighbors, but it'll certainly be an improvement if the buffet moves in. It'd be good for (the area), and I think it would be good for our property," said Jim Streng. This neighborhood has been gradually changing over the past few years, with Starbucks, Panda Express, and Jamba Juice stores moving in. People who live in the area said they're happy to see anything more family-friendly than a porn theater. "It involves the children, and I happen to be a father myself," said Jeffrey Thomas. "It just doesn't make me feel too comfortable with something like that near so many youth." But one property owner who owns a nearby sushi establishment was not so happy about what's going on here. The Golden Corral buffet reportedly wants this property too, which would force the sushi place to move. That restaurant owner says he's heading to court to try and fight getting kicked out. Either way, the days of the Regency Cinema are done, but the Golden Corral may be facing a rocky road to Sacramento.
