It seems if you are not a Puritan, Foslom is not the town for you. I was so happy to read that your store is turning a profit. I hope your suit wins and you thrive from the publicity the suit will generate.
I, for one, stand for everyone's rights under the First Amendment. It was pathetic to watch the Chicken Little's running around Folsom screeching "the sky is falling", the "sky is falling." You opened your store, and the sky did not fall. However, you did provide some much needed diverstiy on Sutter Street.

I think the folks down on Sutter Street are a little hypocritical...
After all what is down there... mostly bars and restaurants... lots of night life...
I think it's pretty stupid of the Chamber of Commerce to deny them membership...
I belong to the Chamber and I wonder why I do...
Joe Gagliardi doesn't even live in Folsom... did you know that...?

If it's a money grab, I truly don't get it.
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.

Do you remember the claims that there would be perverts hanging out in front of the store? That there would be increased crime? That business would be driven away?
None of this has happened.

If it's a money grab, I truly don't get it.
Let's remember, they're not suing the Chamber, they're suing the city to get the ban on "certain sexual devices" removed. Assuming I understood the article correctly, that is.
Attempting to repeal a law that was temporarily added, then permanently ratified by the City Council seems a little wrong to me. Let the voting public, or their representatives, decide what's right for the city.
For that reason, I can not stand behind this suit. IIRC, the Chamber of Commerce is a private organization, and has the right to refuse service to anyone, so I don't see any applicable action there either.
Let sleeping dogs lay, in bed with other dogs, and toys.

I suppose I could have predicted this.
Ms. Teaz said they wanted a discreet room in the back of a lingerie store with a few items of erotica. Now, we see they intended to expand that room and eventually the store will be just a porn trash-for-cash business.
It's always about the money.

You say that like it's a bad thing.
Yes, it's always about the money. Making money is a noble cause.

The store will not change in any way with regard to the back room; the way is stands today is the same as the vision we shared with the city from the beginning. Anyone is welcome to approach either of us and marvel at how closely our business plan resembles the store today - we are very pleased with it as are our patrons. Though there is a small minority who loves to stir up trouble here - we have and will continue to be a respectful business. We simply do not like the fact that the city (code enforcement) on several occasions walked into our store during business hours with customers in the store to police our inventory though we were doing no wrong. We are not criminals - we are very good people (believe it or not there are some people in this world who are not all about money though it is necessary that we put our daughter through college and bring her up a good person too). Moreover, we feel very good about standing up for ourselves which we were denied of during the course opening our store. Enough said by us – support us or not we can now sleep peacefully at night. We feel very good in our hearts about taking a stand on our civil rights so as to keep the city from infringing upon them down the road at their discretion. Moreover, we have lost out on opening another location due to the false impressions which still linger in some people’s minds.

you guys keep up the good work...
I would be angry too if some stinking Folsom beaurocrat walked into my business when customers were there....
I remember the same crap when a "tatoo" parlor wanted to open up on Natomaa few years back... oh the outcry then.....haven't heard squat since...
There's just a few vocal complainers down there and that's all...
Hang in there....
