Maplewood succeeds in evicting porn shop
The Star-Ledger - Thursday, August 26, 2004
Maplewood Mayor Fred Profeta announced yesterday that a porn shop, which has been the target of criticism in town, has been evicted from its building.
The store on Springfield Avenue is adjacent to a property that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints is in the process of building on.
"It's a problem in that it has not been an incentive for making that a pedestrian-friendly area," said Profeta. "There have been a whole lot of people who hate it."
The township asked the owners of the building to evict the porn shop in exchange for approvals for renovations on the property.
