In my very small rural town, a porn shop opened on the main street, where lots of high school and middle school kids walk to and from school. You wouldn't believe all the letters to the editor, people arguing at the town meeting or whatever it's called. The mayor said there was nothing in state law that could stop the shop. So there it is - with kids walking by it all the time.

No, there hasn't been a referendum in this little town, but judging by the letters, the majority of people here did not want that porn shop in the middle of a very small downtown. Yet there it is, courtesy of the ACLU and a bunch of jackass judges.

No doubt it will be out of business in months since nobody is going to patronize it...

I guess that would simply be an issue of state law and the ability under such laws of towns to pass certain zoning. I don't think this says anything about pornographers being able to force communities to allow their businesses on main streets. Blame your state legislators for this.

From what you've described, it is there courtesy of the state legislature.
