2000–2003 · 56415 ASH ROAD, UNINCORPORATED PENN TOWNSHIP
Only collisions with the public record are printable facts in this section: a club would enter it when it collided with a landlord, a government or a prosecution. No such collision naming a swingers club, couples' social club or members-only sex club exists in the record classes for Osceola, Penn Township, Mishawaka or St. Joseph County — no landlord fight, no licence or zoning case, no prosecution. The one documented collision on this ground in the category's wider neighbourhood is of a different kind of business, and it is entered here at pointer size because it is the collision a reader of this section will be looking for: the Pleasureland Museum adult bookstore at 56415 Ash Road, south of the town line in unincorporated Penn Township (a five-digit address — county jurisdiction, as the banked crime fragment establishes from the Census geocoder and the town's own address rule), prosecuted with its Mishawaka sister store and two South Bend stores in the obscenity and racketeering case of 2000–2003 — undercover purchases in February, April and October 2000, a four-store raid, nineteen counts against the owners, suppression litigation, and an end by plea in 2003 with one misdemeanour count each and standards set for future sales. That case is banked whole in the crime fragment, with its own open ends registered there as GAP-O4-4 — the raid's exact Friday, the final dispositions of the other defendants, whether the Ash Road store was separately charged, and the Ash Road opening date, with the Tribune archive and the St. Joseph court files named as settlers — and it is not retold here. It is a bookstore case. It documents that this ground's adult trade, when it collided with the record at all, collided as retail, under the obscenity law; it does not document a club, and this section does not borrow it as one. Two DELTA dispositions ride with the banked case as assembly input and are noted, not resolved, here: DF-13 (the owners' relationship is printed "mother-son" in the Tribune and unadorned — "Ed and Shirlee Balanow" — in the Seventh Circuit's printing; assembly prints at court strength) and DF-14 (the raid's date is carried three ways inside the banked fragment; assembly takes it up with the Tribune archive). Mishawaka's own ordinance war over the same stores — Ordinance 44-15 and Pleasureland Museum, Inc. v. Beutter, 288 F.3d 988 (7th Cir. 2002) — is the neighbouring city's record, boundary material, and is carried whole in the crime fragment's telling of that case; the Kokomo namesake case, Pleasureland v. Dailey, 422 N.E.2d 754 (1981), is excluded by name in the fragment and stays excluded here.
