Pretend that you have a school age child who rides a school bus to and from school. The windows of the porn shop are tinted black, so no one can see in or out, but there is a fluorescent sign on the shop. Would it bother you that this was the location of the bus stop?

Would you be upset if your child's school bus stop was in front of a porn shop?

A bit. My concern would not stem from the moral side of it but rather the safety. Last year ago a woman in Hillsboro was attempted rape by a patron of the porn shop that she stood in front of while waiting for the bus. That was either very late at night or just past midnight. But it's still a bit dark in the mornings when the kids wait for their busses.

I wouldn't be too upset, if the windows are blackened and I don't believe porn shops are open at 7/8 in the am anyway. Maybe just request that it be moved a block away.

State laws, I guess. The one I mentioned runs 24 hours.

I wouldn't like it, but then again, I don't think that'll be much of an issue for me anyway. No buses allowed.

I live in a major metropolitan area that has porn shops with those garrish yellow and black signs so you can't miss them as well as strip joints, some quite nice looking. It is part of urban landscape and kids know about it. So, you can live with it or move to Oklahoma.

As long as the windows were blackened and he couldnt see inside, I'm cool.

I would just be concerned about the clientele that would be going in and out during school time.

I wouldn't be thrilled but it wouldn't that big a deal either.

Blues and Tony alluded to the safety aspect. That would be my concern. If I lived so close to one my son would catch the bus near it, he would already have asked about it.
I seriously doubt a bus stop would be placed in front of an adult book store. I am sure they would find an alternative.

Very much so. I'm sure there's a law against it here in the Commonwealth.
