SALISBURY — The battle over a “questionable” business in Salisbury intensified again last week when city officials vowed to start fining an adult store in Salisbury to the tune of $500 per day in January if the establishment does not come into compliance with the city code.
On Dec. 11, the city of Salisbury conducted an inspection of the Red Light District Superstore on Business Route 13 to determine the extent of the establishment’s floor plan dedicated to adult entertainment material. The inspection revealed 25 percent of the usable floor place in the Red Light District Superstore is being used for what the city considers questionable adult entertainment material.
As a result, the city has issued an ultimatum to the store’s owners, demanding one of two actions. Either the Red Light District has to make improvements to the facility to bring it into compliance or file an appeal with the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals. If the required corrections are not made by Jan. 9, the city will issue a municipal infraction, including a fine of $500 a day, until the property is brought into compliance. Mayor Jim Ireton said the city would be firm on its efforts to bring the facility into compliance.

if the people of salisbury do not want this store then do not shop there and they will close their doors, if it is simply the mayors decision that he does not want the store than tough
The homo pansy mayor is on a power trip just like Obama. I really don't think that people care if that store is there.There is a porno store right down the street.
I'm sure Ireton has been using the city attorney and taxpayer funds to attend to his personal protest of capitalism. If Ireton put as much effort in bringing business to Salisbury as he does to driving business out of town, there wouldn't be so many empty homes and commercial properties all over town.
its about money they want to keep spending, so like joe said, they wasted money on a pos ball drop and now need money...
Here it is... has nothing to do with porn or anything seeing how there are at least 2 porn stores already here...
Its always and will be about money so they can use the money to get power.... that is it... any other dumb ass say or thinks other wise need to go hang themselves... you deserve not to breathe the same air as me...
You're right- It's ALL about Ireton. What a POS tyrant!
To misquote the mayor:
"Ve vill 'bury zem vith fines if they don't stock ze products ve like"
He's just mad they refuse to carry pink teddy's, plastic fists and edible underwear in his size.
i think ill stop by today and give them some business!
Add gay porn and give the mayor a frequent customer card. Problem solved!
2:32 it would appear that you are familiar with the sexual interests of the gays. Just saying!!!
If they move next to the adult bookstore will that make it better?
OMG people I can only imagine the comments if the City was letting this business selling their wares, can we say "Potterville" from "It'd a Wonderful Life?"
almost went an entire day without an actual laugh out loud.
too funny. thanks
I've yet to see a car parked out front of there.
Also, I don't see how it looks any different than a stand alone V secrets would appear.
Salisbury is NOT business friendly
