Love Shack Opens Amid Legal Battle

[Peaches]

Lots of very religious money in that area.

I don't get opening something just to piss people off. Yes, he'll have customers. But why make yourself an enemy of your neighborhood when others are more than willing to accept you?

Proving a point just to prove a point sometimes doesn't have a point.

Peaches, you of all people should recognize that a fight is only a good fight when someone will fight with you. If the good people of Johns Crossing or what ever they named that place would have left him alone he would have been quiet and no trouble. But HELL NO... not in MY town.

I have been watching this fight brew for months now. I know Mr. Cornetta will fight with all he's got ( and i hear that is bunches) and can borrow to keep this store open....


...only because they are telling him he can't.


Go John... I personally plan to go and visit the store to donate my dollars for the cause.

Yeah, but I've made it a rule for me to never be where I'm not wanted. He's not wanted. Lots of sports stars, celebrities and folks with lots of $$$, while probably buying the stuff online, don't want him across the street from where they take their kids shopping. With 2 beautiful nieces who would be included in that group of kids, I'm on John's Creek side

I think he deserves the right to run his business where he can, but sadly I think the rich ones will win this cause...eventually. But, I think Cornetta will go down kicking and screaming and costing them money the entire way.


And... if he is not wanted he will not have business and will have to close one way or another.

No, because he has the folks from midtown driving up to give him biz

The religious right is a very vocal minority in this town....and more and more all over the country unfortunately. Just because they're noisy and the people who want to play with their toys and watch their porn are not does not mean they're the majority.

John has gone thru this in many communities. Our favorite store with the giant "wall of dildos" in Peachtree Corners was fought as well. John considers it good grand opening advertising, let's everyone know that it is there.

If the community truly doesn't want it, let them vote with their wallets instead of thumping their bibles.

If you ever go into one of these stores out in the burbs, it's not guys in trench coats. It's average people, males and females, people of diverse backgrounds and incomes.

I feel the same about his store as I do my sites and living in the community I live in. If you dont like 'em, dont surf to them. Every adult site I've ever done is constructed in a manner where you're not going to "accidently" see so much as a tit. Same is true of John's place....Granny aint gonna stray in there expecting to find knitting supplies.

Some strip club right now John J is sitting and laughing about it all.

I love how he took it to another notch by saying this will be the flagship store!

Matt Collins said that it doesnt matter what time of the night he passes that new store .... it has a parking lot full of car s.

I disagree with Peaches... KEEP THE MONEY IN THE COMMUNITY!

Again, I bet if he started asking the zip codes of the shoppers, he'd find out there are less from John's Creek or even Alpharetta than from elsewhere.

He's not wanted by the neighborhood. Just common decency and respect for the feelings of others should have kept him out. But from what I've heard, those aren't his strong points.

No, but it's a huge store right in the middle of stores where families shop. There's no way to block the kids from seeing it, there's no way to stay next to the computer and make sure your kids don't pass it by.

When your 8 year old daughter wants to know what kind of store it is and why she can't go in there since it seems so popular, let me know - because THAT'S what thousands of parents are having to deal with. The "vibrator" discussion usually doesn't happen between kid and parent. Religion really doesn't enter into it - I just metioned there's a lot of religious money there. I doubt the Atheist wants to explain to little Janie what an adult sex store is either.

And dude, there are 40+ year olds like yourself who shop there and buy sex toys for teens (18-19). Don't be jealous that you don't have a trench coat
