Union City

residents want answers on how to get an adult bookstore out of their neighborhood.

Last week,

Atlanta City Councilman Derrick Boazman appeared before the Union City

Council and explained the legal process his city went through in trying

to close an adult club.

Union City

Manager Sonya Carter said the meeting went well, and residents have a

better understanding of the complexities involved in the issue.

New York Video

has been open in Union City for two years, and residents have been outspoken

in their desire to see it leave town.

But Carter

said the legal process in trying to get the business to move is complex

and time-consuming.

"We're

in the process of litigation, so I really can't comment, but we are moving

forward in the process," she said.

Many residents

think closing the store can be accomplished overnight, but the process

can drag on for months and years, Carter said.

After Boazman

spoke, many residents were more informed about the legal maneuvering that

takes place in many adult-oriented closures. Carter said the city is doing

everything it can, but the legal process will take time.
