controversy

An "adult" store has opened up recently in one of our strip malls around town. There are several city residents that have been quite vocal about shutting it down and that, I'm sure has been great for creating more business for them. According to the city counselor, the store doesn't sell enough adult products to qualify as a pornography retailer. About 25% of their stock would qualify--and that's in the back of the store. One third of their inventory would have to be pornographic in order for the city to shut them down. I think it's fascinating that we have never had this type of business right here in River City before. I guess somebody just figured they could make some money selling that kind of stuff. I don't have to like it but it sounds like the adult store is here to stay.
