San Francisco Was Once Lovingly Called ‘The Smut Capital of America’
Were you aware that the birth of hardcore pornography happened right here in San Francisco? Feel proud, kids. During the brief period of 1968 to 1972, the barriers fell for both strip clubs and porn theaters, and a boomlet occurred right in this very city in which theaters began flipping over into porn palaces one after another.

Launching today, Assassin’s Creed: Project Legacy is a Clan Wars-inspired social RPG playable on Facebook. Players will have a unique assassin profile, complete with skills and abilities. Will you be an assassin who specializes in open conflict or political intrigue? Will you stick to the shadows or trust in your knowledge to protect you? Each assassin unlocks a linear set of Mafia Wars-style missions that have unique, sometimes random rewards and require specific prerequisites. You might go on an extortion mission that requires you buy a fancy gift, but that mission might garner you a courtesan you can use for a later mission. Later, more dramatic missions might require you to have a number of soldiers or warhorses in your retinue. As you gather items and landmarks on Facebook, you’ll unlock those items in the console versions of the games. And as you complete missions in the console version, you’ll open up new missions on Facebook. It’s all part of what Early calls “the virtuous cycle.”

Police later executed a search warrant at the home, in connection with the alleged prostitution.
Cano and Jackson were booked into Contra Costa County Jail on suspicion of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, possessing methamphetamine, possession of obscene material, unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, solicitation of prostitution, pandering for prostitution, human trafficking of a subject under 18, and lewd and lascivious acts with a child.
