12-15-00 -The long debated and disputed story, regarding the controversial Hustler store in Monroe, can now come to a possible conclusion. It is here and it has opened. Jimmy Flint was at the new Hustler Hollywood store, just off of 63, where he held his grand opening this morning. Many peop le gathered outside in anticipation to enter the store. Although the store did not open at its 9am deadline, Mr. Flint himself guaranteed it would be open in a few short hours. News crews were on hand to view and report on this hyped-up and well publicized opening. Although rumors floated as to a possible picketing of the store, no protestors were spotted as of early this morning. There was though, a line of patrons ready to enter the store, some of which showed up an hour before the proposed 9am opening. When asked why the Flints picked Monroe to open their store Jimmy responded, "This is one of the fastest growing areas in the nation and the fastest in Ohio". He also commented on the possibilities of protestors, "I welcome them. They are all my friends. Just misguided by their leaders".
Monroe police as well as the Highway Patrol were on site but were not needed.
