I'm in an unnamed midwest city, a very large one, as evidenced in the very thick yellow pages. But here's the thing: I don't think this town has a single alternative business of any type. I looked. My fingers walked all over those robust yellow pages. I looked under "adult." Nothing. I looked under "pornography." Nothing. I looked under "bookstores, adult" and not only did I find nothing, the ratio of Christian bookstores to regular bookstores was, frankly, a little scary. Strip clubs. Nothing under than entry. Also nothing under "marital aids" or "gay"--or any iteration of the word. I know there must be places where people buy their porn and things that go buzz in the night. And c'mon, everybody likes a good drag show now and again. But I'll be damned if I know what the code words are to find these places in the yellow pages.

Uh huh. So it's only a drag show you're looking for? :) Try looking for bars... it's the kind of thing I doubt you'll find in the Yellow Pages! Come on, doesn't Cornfed City have a "red light district"?
M,
There's plenty. They're all on the northwest side of town. mostly the sticky video booth type. Lots of strip clubs on the north side, too. I try to stay out of them when I'm in town, though. I keep running into girls I knew in high school.
I forgot to tell you to check out the Slippery Noodle Inn downtown for some good blues. Hope you found it on your own.
Love ya,
Dillon
Yeah. Apparently I was looking at the least "alt" of the alt-weeklies I found on the curbside boxes. Further investigation at a box with a wider selection revealed the required assortment of "MWM seeks SWF for diapering on a casual basis" ads, along with those for strip clubs and 1-900-she-male sorts of things.
Whew! I was worried for a minute there.
Oh where, oh where has she gone?
