XXX Zoning

Salisbury has placed a 100 day moratorium on adult stores opening and the Daily Times reported the county zoning board rejected a permit for a daycare in the vicinity of one prominent Route 50 adult store.I have no problem with those kinda stores and don't any of y'all act like you have never been on one-most of us have!BUT-they need to be more discreet about the way they advertise outside their stores.Huge hot pink banners screaming "XXX" is tacky and way overboard.A simple lighted sign that reads "Adult Shop" is all that is needed.Trust me,people who shop at those stores know where they are located!They know whats in there so they don't need be told the content therein is "XXX"!
I also can understand why they didn't want to allow a daycare so close to an adult store.Sex offenders buy porn too-and could expose the daycare to potentially dangerous people-true,dangerous people are everywhere but why take the risk?If not for that very issue there would be no other problems.And no-not all people who buy porn are pervs-far from it,but the freaks buy it too.The stores need to reduce the gauche signage and enforce a strict policy if checking ID's for age in their businesses
