It’s been so long since Chippewa Street was part of a “red light district” that other than a few scantilly clad co-eds in strapless mini dresses on a weekend night, we’d almost forgotten the “Chip Strip” was once home of the slogan “sex sells”.
And now, the very last vestige of the once profoundly profane passage is gone; the XXX video store on Chippewa between Delaware and Franklin has shut down. This is a good thing.
Those of you wanting blue movies will now be forced to go to the corners of Hertel and Elmwood, where there are two adult video stores within spitting distance of a defunct Dickie’s Donuts and a Kinko’s copy store.
No word yet on what will fill the storefront.
