Larry Flynt

Dayton at Work and Play Page: Larry Flynt’s Hustler Lounge

June 16, 2020 By Bill Franz

Watched a Netflix documentary called “Circus of Books” and learned that Larry Flynt got his start in Dayton. This corner in downtown Dayton was the site of his first Hustler Lounge in 1968, and the Hustler magazine was first printed in Dayton.

As he was building his porn empire Flynt moved his headquarters to Columbus and then to California, but he had some colorful adventures in Dayton before leaving. One thing I wish I’d seen was how Flynt settled a dispute with a local bank. He sent several of his dancers, dressed in bikinis, to the bank with wheelbarrows filled with enough pennies to pay off his loan.
