Neighbors of Porn Shop to Include Homes, School of Dance, Counseling Centers and Churches

NPN took a walk around 135 King Street to see who will be next to Capital Video’s proposed porn shop. Directly across North Street is the Northampton School of Dance and ServiceNet. The latter provides mental health counseling. A little further down King Street, still within sight of the porn shop, is Saint Valentine’s Church, the first of several houses of worship in this area. A little further still is Children’s Aid and Family Service. Back closer to the porn shop, on Myrtle Street, is Skipton House, a YWCA office and counseling
center that, among other things, serves victims of domestic violence. And looking straight on at the porn shop are many of the residents of Summer Street.
