A group of Wellesley citizens is trying to stop the sale of pornographic materials at Gateway News on Washington Street in Lower Falls. 

They say the store is selling “graphic and deviant books, videos and magazines directly across the aisle from children’s comic books.” According to them, no attempt is made to hide the contents of these materials or prohibit access by children.

They have sent a petition with 43 names attached to every member of the Board of Selectmen, the Planning Commission and the landlord, but none have responded to the petition.

According to the citizens, “every government door has been slammed in our faces.” They desire that “the people of Wellesley know of this egregious situation.”

Their contact is Jesse Rogers at 237-1676.
