Nekkid Twister, R.I.P.

It would appear the party has come to an end on Cedar Ridge Drive in Duncanville, TX.  This Dallas suburb is the unlikely home to the Cherry Pit, a local swingers club.  Personally, I must admit I have a soft spot in my heart for naked twister but, neighborhood complaints have brought about a city ordinance banning businesses that promote live sex acts.

 Props to the AP for that line. They're normally not that funny on purpose.

The concerns about traffic and the effects on property value are legitimate.  One of the reasons why we zone areas residential or commercial is to avoid this problem.  For some reason, I don't think that is the push for the city ordinance.

What we do in our own bedrooms, living rooms, and sometimes the hot tub is no ones business but our own.  Frankly, I don't even want to know what goes on next door.  But that's another story.

No doubt this will go to court and the attorneys for both the city of Duncanvile and the swingers of Cedar Ridge will be enriched.  Personally, I like a no cost solution.  Just put a sign on the door reading "Si non oscillas, noli tintinnar."
