BLM wrote on Jul 21, 2006 5:21 AM:And the problem of a tax paying business located in an allowable zone away from easy access to kids and church goers that supports the idea of love and sex is what again? If the city council wants to engage in a controversial effort to save us from ourselves, how about shutting down some fast food outlets that offer high fat/high sugar products that beyond a doubt are harmful to our population?

vistaresident wrote on Jul 21, 2006 6:43 AM:I am looking forward to a store where my husband and I can shop together. Fun parties are great but husbands are generally not allowed

Resident wrote on Jul 21, 2006 7:02 AM:Sounds like an adult store to me. Hey vista resident get your swinger party on.

Harry wrote on Jul 21, 2006 8:05 AM:I really don't think a local outlet for whips, tacky undies and gag gifts are going to do much to promote an ambiance of love and affection in Vista. I support the city council for trying to maintain some standard. Do you realize that the City of Vista doesnt have a book store.

To Harry wrote on Jul 21, 2006 9:08 AM:Boy, you seem to know a lot about the items this type of store would carry! Coincidence? I think not! ;)

O'side Res wrote on Jul 21, 2006 9:15 AM:Harry, Vista does'nt have a good place to get nice tacky underwear or whips either.

Nick wrote on Jul 21, 2006 9:16 AM:Harry, when I think of Vista, the words ambiance, love, and affection deffinately don't come to mind. Just because you don't like toys in your bedroom, doesn't give you the right to stop consenting adults from having them. The fact that vista doesn't have a bookstore is no fault of ours. If you want one so bad, you open a book store. If you really care about Vista's image so much, why don't you do something about all the gangs, drugs, day laborers, and illegals roaming the streets. Love and affection, get a life.

Vista Resident 2 wrote on Jul 21, 2006 9:28 AM:I like vistaresidents perspective! And I don't see anything wrong with it. She did mention this was for her and her husband, not a swingers thing!!! Good for them! Vista and Resident remind me of the old school board that wanted fundamentalism in front of the ABC's.

Pete Nice wrote on Jul 21, 2006 10:00 AM:This store would generate revenue for the City of Vista & that is revenue the city REALLY needs right now. I don't see what the problem is. Let the store open their doors & let the fun begin.

to Harry wrote on Jul 21, 2006 10:48 AM:wow you know your stuff....must have been in some of those stores a lot to know what they sell. Savons, Right Aid and the lot of them sell warming feminine gel. Close them all??? Grocery stores sell condoms, seems pretty adult to me, close them too! Stop being stupid. Nobody forces you to go into those stores, or look at them. If you're worried about your kids talk them, while clogging up your arteries at a fast food joint, that might help. Welcome to reality.

Sean wrote on Jul 21, 2006 1:28 PM:Harry...hey, listen up pal! The words "tacky undies" and "whips" appear no where in the article. But since you brought it up, I see nothing finer in the world than my 5'10 stunning model of a girlfriend wearing lingerie that weighs less than an ounce. When is the Grand Opening?

Typical wrote on Jul 21, 2006 1:39 PM:I applaud the Vista City Council. They are trying any way to clean up their city on certain issues and then some fool has to come in to mess things up. Deja Vu go somewhere else.

vista resident 3 wrote on Jul 21, 2006 3:22 PM:Sean is right, if people would read the article entirely and then if they actually understood it - wow that would be amazing. The Vista City Council should really concentrate on issues that are deinitely hurting our city - like drugs, crime,gangs, how about getting a few more sherriffs?? Nobody is forcing typical to go to that store but how many times have completely innocent people been robbed, murdered or raped is this fine city of Vista? Those are the issues that are really important. And think of the revenue that is much needed in this city to combat those issues. That is where your businesses come in.

If you want to keep it private contact me I'm a Passion Consultant. I do informative and education home base parties without having to worry about our children seeing or hearing what's going on. I do both couples and women-only parties. I've been on KUSI and everything is confidently sold.

Hoot and a half wrote on Jul 21, 2006 10:39 PM:If the city's going to regulate day laborers, does that mean prostitutes too? Heck, maybe the minutemen need some new toys and kinky underwear...we all need standards, and besides, it gives city staff something to do. Blame all this on the heat and humidity, it's silly season.

Got my mojo on wrote on Jul 23, 2006 3:40 AM:The store should be permitted. Money rules. We should have sympathy for the less fortunate. When god created the world, it was probably close to lunch time. There was a line that said 'mojos.' People were probably distracted by the sign that said 'HoJos.' It was an honest mistake and that's why some of you need the iems sold in these stores, to make up for what god didn't give you.

Vista Granny wrote on Jul 24, 2006 4:42 PM:Why is Vista such a dull, stick in the mud city? And what do they do with their tax revenue? Have they given it all back to their new retailers? Why is it that San Marcos which really didn't exist a few years ago, and Oceanside which was once the "armpit" of North County have both surpassed Vista with finer city halls, restaurant rows, their own police, and so forth? Vista stagnates. Why? Why do we insist every "adult" thing, such as liquor, cigarettes, adult merchandise, be so many feet away from churches? Schools I undestand,churches? Silly Vista. Stick in the mud Vista.
