Tennessee making news again, this time regarding the Friends of Spring Hill Library flea market, held on the lawn of Spring Hill Presbyterian Church.

From THE TENNESSEEAN newspaper:

Among the dozens of booths set up on the lawn of Spring Hill Presbyterian Church was one vendor promoting personal pleasure toys and intimate products for women and couples.

''The most questionable item we sold was a vibrating bath sponge that looks like a rubber ducky. It's the cutest thing.''

City Administrator Ken York said Hightree will be cited as having violated the city's sexually oriented business ordinance.

The ordinance, which carries a $50 fine, prohibits ''presentation of materials … depicting, describing or specifying anatomical areas'' in places where they can be observed by the public.


love the specificity of that ordinance..."describing or specifying anatomical areas"???
