i imagine that you have the same opposition to ‘oh my’ on conz street, right? please let me know your plan to have that shop shut down. if that shop is not objectionable, please explain why. thanks.
Thanks for this excellent question. We have addressed it in a new Frequently Asked Questions section in the left-hand column of the NoPornNorthampton.org home page.
For the record, we are not opposed to Oh My. The FAQ section discusses the differences between Oh My and the proposed porn shop on King Street.
