Figure 2. The official map of Stockholm from 1969-70, with added symbols for the different establishments. The map shows all premises found in the sources that were in business at some point during the period. All were thus not parallel in time. It is also important to note that the line between shops, clubs, and movie theatres was never clear-cut as most shops offered 8mm film and striptease shows and that some of the cinemas also sold magazines. The map has been constructed by the author and Cristina Jäderberg from sources presented in Appendix 1.
