Alton, Mo. – On Tuesday, October 15, 2024, a city council meeting was held at the Alton Multipurpose building. The main topic of the meeting was the controversy over the store, The Underground, on the square.
The Meeting
Over 110 individuals attended the meeting, either to voice their concerns or listen to everyone else. Over a dozen people spoke about their concerns about The Underground.
The Store
The store, The Underground, is an “adult store,” selling porn, sex toys, as well as having gambling machines.
My tax money will no longer support businesses in Alton until the store leaves. I encourage all who agree to do the same.
You are not the first person to say this. But the council doesn’t know this and busineses aren’t speaking about it either. The citizens need to make this known. I encourage you to attend the council meeting. Second Monday of every month at city hall at 5:30pm. I believe this store isn’t going away. She’s making a profit unfortunately. Word on the street is the town is happy to have her store here.
