I have always seen The Bascom Bookcase for the longest time, but this was the first (and only) time I stepped foot in.When you walk inside it feels as if you just entered the curtained section of a video rental store. There are posters of strippers and porn parody movie titles all over the top of the walls. The first thing you notice after all that would be the abundance of porn DVDs. The rack in the middle of the store is filled with videos as well as the wall behind it. They even have loose DVDs for a cheaper price if the internet is too complex to handle. The other half of the store is packed with loads of dildos and even some fleshlights.Once I was done looking at the walls I had realized just how limited the store is. There is a clear lack of variety in their selection as the rest of the store consistent of much smaller items. It doesn't help that the prices for the items aren't as competitive when compared to other stores or even online retailers. In addition to the lackluster choices, the service was also less than pleasurable. The staff at the register ignored both my greeting and my farewell, but that wasn't what bothered me. What got to me was the eagle eyes they had dead set on me wherever I was in the store. Definitely did not feel like spending much more time in the place.Speaking of which, as I walked around that's when I noticed a small hallway with the words "ARCADE" written on top. I knew they didn't mean it like Pac-Man or Street Fighter arcade, but my curiosity was peaked. I made my way and saw a couple doors, some hand written signs and a glass shelf with individually numbered porn DVDs. Putting two and two together I realized it's an area to rent the movies out and watch at your own leisure. My hypothesis was reinforced when I heard the sound of muffled moaning echo through one of the doors. It was at that moment I knew it was my time to leave.Overall my experience at The Bascom Bookcase could have been a lot better. The environment was less than desirable and their inventory isn't anything to write home about. I suppose if you need a toy at the spur of the moment or cheap DVDs, again even with the Internet existing, then it's a place to come in and out of quickly. Other than that you'll have a better time looking elsewhere. Won't be bringing my girlfriend here!

Wasn’t sure what the arcade was about… I was in for a surprise.

So for those who searched for "bookstores" in Google Maps, this is not a bookstore in the classical sense; it is a porn shop (note to Google: fix your algorithms!). You won't find your Arthur C. Clarke novels here.
