Although they have been up for years, some families in the Tooele area are now passing billboards for the Southern X-Posure adult entertainment club since a newly-finished highway has them exiting I-80 further west than before.
TOOELE, Utah — Yvonne Averett has lived in Tooele County for 20 years. But for the last eight months, she’s been driving by signs every day that she believes don’t belong in her community.
Residents like Averett are asking for billboards to be taken down that have been up for years. The three signs on I-80 in Tooele all advertise the same West Wendover adult entertainment club:"Southern X-Posure." “I mean, this is a rural little suburb, family values," said Averett."So it's not really our community standard."
“You might be able to sell girls and sex in a casino in Wendover and Las Vegas," said Nelson."But not in Grantsville.”“If the purpose is to sell girls like another commodity, to objectify girls, then yeah, that's offensive to us," said Nelson."And it has no place in our community.”
