Circle Cinema
I left it up to social media in a recent post to decide what they wanted to see next on the blog and the unanimous winner was Circle Cinema.
The small business located at 2570 S. Seneca has been around for years and is a store specializing in DVD sales along with other amenities.
2570 S. Seneca St., Wichita, KS 67217
Open 24 hours; 7 days a week
Cash/Card Accepted….. I cannot personally confirm this
The parking lot always looks empty out front but I guess the entrance and most of the people are parked to the south side of the building.
When I pulled up, there was a person right out in the public putting their pants on. I think that person was surprised to see me randomly pull up in the spot they were getting themselves together. What are the odds? We both made eye contact, let our eyes wander off in different directions like we didn’t see each other.
I stepped out of the car, the Midwesterner in me wanted to say, “Have a nice day” but felt this wasn’t the appropriate time to say that.
Instead, I just turned away and made my way inside Circle Cinema or as the sign at the entrance says, “Circle Square Adult Video”. So apparently, it’s not just a DVD sales outlet but one that specializes in the adult kind.
Many times when you walk into a business, you receive a greeting like “Thanks for coming in” or “Hey welcome to Circle Cinema, how can I help you?” or “What brings you in today?”. There was nothing of the sort, no eye contact made.
Upon stepping inside, there was a display of magazines which I believe to be of the adult kind as well. Many of the popular names such as Playboy and Playgirl which I didn’t know were still in print.
There was also a curtain that cost $5 a ticket to enter. Apparently it led to a room where Live Cams were now being featured. I’m not sure what Live Cams are but didn’t want to ask. Also the $5 ticket is good for 24 hours so it’s a lot of entertainment for just $5 for those who hate paying over $10 for any form of entertainment in town. It’s a steal here.
But I did not have $5 on me and will let the next reviewer take it from here.
From there there were three aisles of DVDs ranging from all the different types of interest levels one might have. While browsing through the categories, I did notice “Foodies” wasn’t listed.
Another section was also inside Circle Cinema with toys….also of the adult kind.
The entire time, I could just feel like the person at the counter was watching me. It made me feel pretty uncomfortable on top of already being uncomfortable walking into a new place not knowing what to expect.
Then the moment happened. I looked into a mirror, and the person who I felt was watching me the whole time…. we made eye contact…..
This was my cue to leave.
