About a month after a Videoland store added adult videos, some West Boise residents want the store to stop renting them, saying they don't fit the neighborhood's "family values".
There appears a trend of sending adult videos on the run in Boise of late. The Idaho Statesman says that, also this month, Nampa's Video City - whose ownership is also Videoland's - moved adult videos to a Videoland in Caldwell, after residents complained about Nampa's and pushed law enforcement to enforce a section of state law blocking adult materials from being distributed within 2,500 feet of a church or school.
Residents in West Boise say Videoland there is breaking the same code - it's close to a day care facility and an elementary school. Videoland's adult section is walled off from the rest of the store; no one under 18 can see the materials. But the Statesman says parents are worried that children could wander in.
And the paper says protesting residents also worry about "what kind of customers" the adult videos are attracting. But Videoland customers are also telling the paper the stores should be allowed to rent porn if they want to.
