While the porno chic revolution in film exhibition was big in Dallas, pop-up theaters not dissimilar from that in the show-store era invaded storefronts and took over boarded up theaters showing XXX films. Peekers was one such example and tried to stay ahead of the police. Peekers was an off-shoot of the Parisian Strip Club (bottom right) which operated from 1967 until a police bust in 1973. Lack of class demonstrated by Peekers which has “byol” in its ad. Peekers lasted from April 1974 until July 1975 with only one known obscenity charge lost in the court system.
