When you enter Wisconsin by way of interstate highway, there's a huge wooden stonehenge like structure with the shape of the state suspended in the middle and each support has a word carved into it: Industry, Agriculture, Recreation.  But what it really needs to say is Fireworks, Cheese, Porn.  Because that's what every exit along the 90, 94 corridor has to offer, it seems.

Note: My stepmom's family is from Wisconsin, and it's a fine state.

"Porn"?

Wow,I completely forgot about this one...one of my earliest pieces.

Thanks for the ....and yes,Wisconsin is great. I've lived here practically my entire life.

Yeah, the porn thing has got to be aggressive marketing to long distance, lonely truckers, but, I kid you not, more "Adult Toys and Movies" stores along those highways than any other place I can think of... outside of Nevada.

It's been a long while since I've driven our interstates,so I'll take your word for it. It's just that you made me think of an adult-book-and-video store,an innocuous little building that existed in Oak Creek for several decades. Sometime this past year,they went out of business and the empty building,which was not far from a heavy concentration of business,was quickly bulldozed away.

I suppose the only thing more depressing to the landscape of a small community than an adult entertainment store is the shell of one that went out of business.

Actually,when it first opened,there was very little else in that particular area. The past decade has seen the opening of numerous businesses there,and...well,let me put it this way:how many adult bookstores do you find in busy retail areas?
