So, here is a story that i've wanted to bring up for some time now, focusing on other topics, issues & personal things...I never sat down and made time for this issue -- well, I'm making time now!
This news stand shown in the photos above is located on Fulton Street btwn Malcolm X Blvd. and Chauncey Street, many of you that take the 46 bus or A/C train have probably passed by this news stand before. It also sits in front of the Jackie Robinson apt complex, across the street from Boys & Girls High School & up the street from the Fulton Street Playground.
Ok...get to the point...what's the big deal -- and maybe it's me, but have you ever noticed all the magazines plastered in the window with 1/2 naked women on the cover...I'm talkin' pretty much porn mags. If you look close, (click on the pics above) you will see a magazine called "ASIS" yeah, you get the idea placed right next to "Essence" magazine w/ Barack Obama and his family on the cover...I don't know -- this just doesn't sit right with me.
Now the owner of this news stand has every right to put what he wants on display and I understand the whole business side of it....but when I suggested that the soft & hardcore porn magazines be removed from the windows and moved to the back (meaning inside the booth) because there are a lot of young kids and impressionable young teens around here, I received not a bit of response. I'm just reporting the facts...If you have some free time walk by this news stand and judge for yourself, your comments to this post would be most appreciated.

hey leave the little people alone, nothing wrong with a little porn. It's the parents that gotta watch their kids
Lets stop the drama it is not as bad as you say it is. Just take a look at other news stands they have the same stuff or worse
