The Crypt, a sex toy/fetish shop at 3847 Park Boulevard, has shut its doors. Today an eviction notice was seen on the front door of the establishment.

The “pay rent or surrender possession” document indicates that Crypto Technology Corp. owes landlord Park Boulevard Associates a total of $12,311 for unpaid rent (August and September), plus late fees. The September rent by itself was $5582.

The Crypt was a member of the Hillcrest Business Association, said executive director Benjamin Nicholls on September 18. “It's disappointing to see such a neighborhood staple go out of business,” Nicholls emailed. “I had hoped that they would be able to take advantage of the general revival of Park Blvd. that is going on around them.”
