LITTLE FALLS — A Morrison AP) Little Falls, Minn. A judge in Morrison County has ordered a strip club, adult book and video store near Swanville, Minn. to close, citing the county's revised zoning ordinances. The ordinances restrict where adult-oriented businesses can locate and create a fee scale and licensing requirement. The ruling by Judge Thomas Godzala closes Lookin' Fine Smut and Porno, located at Minnesota Highways 27 and 28 near Swanville. Gordy Wheeler opened the business in October 2003. It is located about 930 feet from a tavern. The county's revised zoning ordinances prohibit any adult uses within 1,320 feet of a building that sells alcohol. The ordinance took effect late in 2003.

finally, some truth in advertising
There must've been another place called "Smut & Porno".
WOW....no grandfather clause?
This is bad. Retroactively applying the law to any business is wrong. Even a business as dispicable as this. Where is the ACLU when they should be protecting the little guy?
This probably falls into the "urban legend" category, but I seem to remember that a strip club somewhere got shut down because the stage the uh, "exotic dancers" used wasn't wheelchair accessible.
I wonder if they were in the yellow pages under "AAAA ABLE SMUT & PORNO"???
oh great where are people gonna go to buy their strip?
Best name ever for an adult business, "Veni, Vedi, Veni".
I like the honest approach. Remember that Dudley Moore flick where he's an advertising exec who comes up with a slogan for Ex-Lax: "It helps you go to the bathroom."
heh, it wasn't the stage - it was the onstage shower that the "disabled" dancer couldn't get into...
An adult bookstore? Who knew?
"The ruling by Judge Thomas Godzala"
Just don't get Godzala mad. The Japanese did and look what happened to Tokyo.
LOL,
or, if you prefer
