SEATTLE TIMES - Andrew Conru, the founder of FriendFinder Networks, has purchased the Lusty Lady building in downtown Seattle for $3M, (with upgrade costs estimated at $20M). The building, which was previously the home of the famous Lusty Lady peep show, has been vacant for over a decade. Conru plans to restore the property and is open to suggestions from the public (at LustyLady.com) for its use. Conru, who is also an artist and philanthropist, wants to give back to the city and hopes to create something that will bring joy to Seattle's residents and visitors.
