R.I.P. New York's King of Porn is Dead
R.I.P. Richard Basciano Another good guy that fought in court for the right of freedom of expression in porn. We all benefit from trailblazers like this. R.I.P. side note: Death of the porn king may finally end the sex industry in Times Square ------- Richard Basciano, the Manhattan landlord once dubbed New York's king of porn for the collection of XXX establishments he operated in Times Square, died Monday night. He was 92. The cause of death was not immediately known, but Basciano was reported to be in poor health in recent months. His death was confirmed by family member and attorney John Ehrhart, who said Basciano died "suddenly and unexpectedly." Basciano's death throws into question the fate of the highly valuable real estate he owned, including a trio of rundown buildings between West 42nd and West 43rd streets along Eighth Avenue. Basciano was reluctant to discuss his plans for the property in detail because he felt the media had treated him unfairly in the past. "Statements have been made about me, but just look at my track record," he said during the call. "I was never dishonest. We always paid our taxes and never got in trouble. I never did anything that was unkind or unfair. But we didn't get the best press." But Basciano did not end up closing Show World during the final months of his life. "I don't think he wanted to close Show World out of loyalty to the longtime employees who worked there," said Erica Dubno, a partner at Fahringer & Dubno, a law firm that defended XXX businesses from regulation and litigation launched by the city in the 1990s to curb the porn industry. "Richard was a very savvy businessman who treated his employees wonderfully." Basciano was one of the chief financial backers of the Coalition for Free Expression, a group of sex-shop owners that hired Dubno and her late law partner, Herald Price Fahringer, to represent the industry in its efforts to beat back city rules to relegate XXX stores to far-flung industrial-zoned areas. The industry eventually won the right to continue operating in heavily trafficked, central locations like Times Square, provided less than 40% of the merchandise was sex-related. "Richard very much believed in preserving and maintaining free speech and expression," Dubno said. "He was a strong supporter of the First Amendment."

Show World was the first porn place I ever visited (at 18). Times Square area now is all Disney. I miss "the good old days" with drugs, whores and sex shops in Times Square. LOL It was more fun back then. Now it's all Japanese tourists flocking to the M&M store. Pathetic.
R.I.P. Richard and thanks for fighting the good fight.

Ahh damn the good ol' sleazy days!! I bet they tear it down and put up a Taco Bell. The funny part? Is in the '90's they made Show World remove 60% of the porn mags and VHS tapes and replace them with Disney and documentaries! So you would walk in and have to go past all the kiddie cartoon DVDs to get to the back where the porn was. LOL Fucking insane.
