Protect your community

It is a fact that sexually oriented businesses, such as Gentlemen's Club 10, Planet Pocono, The Carousel, Cinema 309, etc..... have a negative impact on the communities that they are located in. They contribute to increased crime rates, decreased property values, and they change a neighborhood's general character. Again, this is not just my opinion..... it is a fact.

What are other communities around our nation doing to protect themselves from the negative secondary effects of sexually oriented businesses? Here are a few links to some insightful articles. Please share this information with the decision-makers in your community.

1. Article One
2. Article Two
3. Article Three

Now that you know the facts, will you help your community address this problem? Contact your Mayor or City Council and ask them if they have regulations in place to protect your community from the harmful effects of sexually oriented businesses. If not, get the ball rolling before it is too late. I kid you not when I say that there are definite plans in place to bring additional sexually oriented businesses to Luzerne County. Now is the time to prevent this, not later.

If you have a sexually oriented business that is a nuisance in your community, send us a picture. We will be happy to post it. Please make certain that your picture is taken while on public property.
