Swapping at the Buford Highway Twin

So the Buford Highway Twin Theater in Doraville, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta, has closed again. This time it looks like it is for good, as the local laws have made the adult business illegal. The owners are reportedly looking for a new location, but the history that was the Buford Twin has come to a close. I have several good memories of this place. And a few dull ones. Like all theaters, particularly when it comes to the opportunities for a sexual encounter, things at the Buford were always "hit or miss". I lost count of the misses that I experienced there, but the "hits" always kept me coming back.

Of course, bringing your own woman seriously increases your chances for a good time. I have wandered back through some of my archives, and found this account of one of my favorite nights at the Buford. It is as I wrote it many years ago. Edited only for better sense now that some of the particulars of my life have changed.

Quiet Saturday Night at the Buford Twin

Saturday was a reasonably quiet night at the Buford Twin in Atlanta. I was making my way across the state and took advantage of the opportunity to drop by one of the few adult theaters in the southeast where couples occasionally visit.

There were a fair number of cars parked near the theater when I pulled in around 10. That’s usually a good sign. Then I noticed that many of them had guys sitting in them, watching the door of the theater, waiting couples. That, of course, is not a good sign.

I went in any way and laid down my 14 dollars, then wandered into the theater on the left. As I walked down the left aisle I was surprised to see a couple in the couples section. I took a seat a row behind them, on the opposite side of the aisle. They were just watching the movie. Within five minutes of my arrival, they were walking out the door. The guy sitting in front of me said that they had been there for about 45 minutes and had done nothing.

It didn’t take long before another couple entered. They stayed as far from the couples sections as possible, preferring to sit in the last row on the right side. Watching the crowd gather and hearing the friendly chatter among the group, it was obvious that they were comfortable regulars.

A Nice Show at an Atlanta Porn Theater

Saturday, August 19, I dropped into the Twin Theaters on Buford Highway, 5805 Buford Hwy in Doraville, GA, a northeast suburb of Atlanta, which, as I found by reading some information posted in the lobby, is the legal name of the establishment these days. Originally opened as the Buford Highway Twin Cinema in the early 70's it was originally a Jerry Lewis theater. In the 80's they actually showed hardcore in one theater and mainstream in the other. Enough of the history, on to the report.

As I was checking into my hotel earlier in the evening I learned that there were actually two separate lifestyle parties being hosted there. That made me think that most of the "players" may be at the party rather than playing at the theater, but I wanted to go over and check it out since I haven't been there since they reopened a couple of years ago. Not much has changed since my last stop. I suspect that it hasn't been remodeled since Jerry opened the place, but it still serves the purpose.
