I live in a beach community that has been renovating the downtown beach area. They've built a new hotel and another is on the way. Several restaurants are now operating and a new surf museum is being built. The shut down a pretty lousy strip club and now they are pressing the porn shop owner to sell so they can renovate the whole strip mall.

A few years ago I would have been upset about it and complained about religious nut jobs getting in the way of harmless entertainment. Now I'm wondering if they are even necessary. With the internet and "Netflix" like mail order services, why bother with a porn shop? I can see a newer Hustler store making sense. But the old school seedy porn shop with a bunch of jerk off booths in the back seem outdated.
