Leather Tongue video is almost obsessively curated. From the moment you walk in, if you are a Leather Tongue kind of person you'll know it. Nick Zedd, Lydia Lunch: if that's your style, this is your store. No doubts there. For everyone else there's Lost Weekend down the street. This store does stock lots of VHS and is really cheap.
PROS: Cheap.
CONS: Little. Particular taste.
