The article provides information on the Polk theater, one of the three big theaters showing pornographic films, in Jackson Heights, New York City. The theater had managed to stay open way after Times Square had been transformed from a poor market to a tourist attraction. It was built in 1938 and had been once elegant, having 599 seats decorated with original light fixtures in the walls. Due to diminishing income, the owner of the theater, known only as Mr. G., decided to close the facility in February 2006.
