Sex - CB
by Collin Baxter

No it’s not a sex shop it’s a pub and grill in the boon docks called Ronnies Sex Shop and Road Kill Grill. Ronnie opened a shop and in the middle of nowhere and things
where slow some one ( a friend) painted sex next to it and suddenly they had a whole lot of visitors. So he opened a pub and a grill and it’s now a major success.
There are no blow up/windup /battery toys or real road kill just a very pleasant pub with a lot of autographed underwear (Some famous local and international names )
and thousands of signatures on the walls. The best thing is there is no mobile coverage in the area so you can really relax. So it goes to show one architectural
feature (three letters) changed this “Trading Post” to an international destination.

Thanks for the comments. This is really an interesting place. When I went in last time I sat on the couch and sat on a Dalmatian dog who was sleeping on it I don’t
know who go a bigger fright. As to the underwear its from all genders and quit interesting as its quite amazing what people wear under their clothes.
I did not offer mine as the don’t hang ship sails in that pub

Yup, if I'm ever in the neighborhood I'll grab a bite here for sure. If you would, Collin, please trim the size of the shot down to about 200kb. Thanks.

This looks like my kinda place! I love the humor in the name and the idea of all those autographed undies ... are they all women's or do they also include men's skivvies?

My cell phone only picks up a signal in some rooms of my house so when I don't feel like communicating (no land line here), I just take it to one of the "dead zones". Gotta love that.

Great entry!

I had decided for the Pub even before i read the story. Funny story and shot.

Funny story Collin :-) It does have that "in the middle of nowhere" feel. There is nothing more relaxing than knowing our cell phone is useless. Good shot - good story.

Well, you know what they say.... Sex Sells!!! Even the mention of it. This was a great story Collin. I think he owes his friend a debt of gratitude for sure. I'll always smile when I look at this photo now.
