BTW, the mayor didn't want the porn shop there, most citizens didn't want it there, letters to the editor were written, all kinds of stuff - but, no go. (It's a very small rural town, just a couple of thousand souls in the town proper.)So, who are the shop's customers? Simple business economics: No customers = no business. Maybe you don't know your town as well as you think.

Economics isn't God. Just because something sells enough merchandise to keep in business doesn't somehow make it (a) legitimate according to the actual meaning of the First Amendment or (b) wanted by the vast majority of the community.
