DEL.ICIO.USJust in case, Milton guards against adult businesses
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Should the adult entertainment industry come calling on the new city of Milton, it will find the city has rolled up the welcome mat — and slammed the door besides.
That’s the city’s view, at least. An attorney says he isn’t sure the city could get its way in a court fight. Then again, no adult businesses are knocking on the slammed door in this largely rural area north of Alpharetta and west of Ga. 400.
If Milton has figured out a way to keep out the adult video stores, it will have pre-empted a fight that has nettled other young cities of Sandy Springs and Johns Creek. Both cities are entangled in court battles with sexually oriented businesses. In Johns Creek, the battle over the opening of the Love Shack video store began even before the city began operations Dec. 1.

And the American Taliban score yet another blow against freedom and liberty.
And we’re in Iraq so “they” won’t come here? I got news for you guys, they’re ALREADY here! Sharia law? Christian Nation? Semantics, nothing more.

You people are so hypocritical. Obviously these places are making money so someone is shopping there meaning there’s demand for such an establishment. “Oh, but our kids! OMG! blah blah blah” Yeah, that’s why you have to be over 18 to enter. Go find a cause that matters.
