Colleen, I about spit out my tea I was drinking when I saw the post. LOL. You crack me up.
Wonder how many new readers you'll get just because they were searching for Porn Shops. =)
They'll get a shock, won't they? LOL

I finished Without a Trace last night. I loved it. I greatly enjoyed the way you made the UP landscape come to life. I am on a mission to read the whole series before I tour Cry in the Night in February. :)
Oh I'm so glad, Brittanie! I love that area up there. Finns are close to my heart too. One of my good friends in high school was a Finnish foreign exchange student and we've kept in touch all these years. We hosted her daughter as an exchange student too.
Colleen,
I'm glad you had a good trip! I am from Missouri and grew up there, but live in Texas now. I have no idea about the porn shops! In fact, I grew up in a little town in the middle of Missouri in the middle of nowhere and we had nothing like that around! It was like living in a whole differnt era we were so rural!
Blessings

Every few miles on the interstate you see those shops, Michelle! So weird!
Wisconsin isn't too far behind Missouri, Colleen. In fact, we have them at little wierd 4-way stops on highways too. They always look creepy with boarded up windows and pink neon signs. I had a friend go in one once (not sure what she was thinking!) and she came out traumatized. If they weren't so racy I think it'd be the perfect place for a book murder setting. I think a lot of it has to do with community zoning and laws - same as gentleman's clubs (oxymoron using the word gentleman!). We have about 4 in a 30 mile radius of my house. When I worked in sales we'd get wads of dollars bills from the dancers to pay for stuff. Ew. Gross. Ew. This was TMI. Sorry. lol. You started it. ;)
Your poor friend, Jaime! What was she thinking? LOL
that's just it - I don't think she WAS thinking! :O)
Oh Jamie, I worked as a bank teller in college and the porn shop in our county banked with us. Every other month or so they would come in with over a thousand dollars in ones and we would have to count and bundle them. I always wished we kept surgical gloves! Boy, did I scrub up when I was done with their deposits.
Colleen, I know the big porn shops around here tend to be near truck stops. Maybe all that cheap gas and porn shops just go hand in hand.
Having been on some of those same roads and seen the same signs, my guess is that you're seeing the signs on the interstate because so many truckers travel them. Maybe they're catering to truckers, or a lot of their business comes from those traveling through. Just a guess. :)
The answer is "Jesus"! They need to change their state motto to "Show Me Jesus"!
I'm a Missouri girl, Colleen. Between KC and Warrensburg, Missouri, where my sister lives, is about an hour's drive. I'll bet there are at least 20 porn shops on a short stretch of Mo. Hiway 50. That same stretch passes through the Methamphetamine Capital of the Universe. Eastern Jackson County, Missouri. I have no good explanation for it.....
