It’s the love issue.
It’s (almost) that time of year. Whether you hate or…well…love love, the reality is that Valentine’s Day is just days away and love is the theme of this week’s issue of The Paper.
We’ve got a guide for those of you who are looking for something to do with your sweetheart other than the standard dinner and chocolates. Maybe you’re looking to spice things up with that special someone or maybe you’re trying to find ways to treat yourself to some sexy time.
Either way, we checked in with our friends at a one-of-a-kind sex shop in town about how they’re still educating Burqeños and providing a sexual safe haven after 17 years in business. Don’t forget to also check out this week’s run-down of the latest in news as well as what we’ve cooked up for the Weak in Review.

P.S. The folks over at City Desk, the Paper.’s more straitlaced cousin, of course have some super important updates on the ongoing APD saga as well as the latest news out of City Council. So, don’t forget to give them a visit too.
