Edit: it also doesn't help if the majority of customers keep showing up anyway.
I'm guessing the latest post under this one didn't bother reading through your comment.

They don't want to get caught because it is a kiss of death for working at ANY parlor in CR. Marion & Hiawatha would probably enact similar restrictions should a parlor show up there.
CP isn't included in any ordinance but they are still playing by the rules. It's pretty much the same in Waterloo, & Iowa City too, and they don't have an ordinance.
Marion don't need no stinking ordinances, they just bust you.
I also wonder if overall customer behavior plays a part. It was a disgruntled customer who made legal trouble for Jenny (in Marion, no less). He even had the balls to visit her again when she moved over to Cedar Rapids. I was there, got her all riled up, ruined my session.

Agree with both you guys. More than once, my LT has mentioned they all talk to each other. And even flag clients as to problems. They too read websites, and know who is drawing attention to problems. I'm all for sharing positive experiences without too much details putting a target on them.

What do you think is limiting the CR experience? I don't see LE having that much oversight, although there may be informal agreements in place. The individual providers seem to be always in transition, so I do not suspect they organize limits. My suspicion is that the owner (s) are the limiting factor. I suspect common ownership (Cedar, 6th Street, A+, CP) and IC locations. The most likely limiting factor in my opinion is an agreement between the few owners in the area. What business do you think might be the outlier and more responsive to its new customers?

YEP it's never going to go past CR normal.

Caught a ride up i380, stopped in at CP. Well, doubt I will make it back there. Service was standard, I just pref a bit more eye candy. It's really too hot to be pedaling to these other places. Almost need a shower when arriving, and not a table one. Need to get back over to A+ and see if new staff has circulated yet. Was at the place by I'd, newer gal in there very eye catching.

Are things really this slow? Made a few stops, usual service. Almost cost as much to drive by car, but bicycle pretty cost effective still. Still get strange looks when I bring the bike in a few places though.

There is a new provider at A+.
Younger than Leena, cute, same playful attitude.
So-So massage but had a good time. Didn't catch a name.
Yep, been there 3 times now. Will keep returning.

I see it listed on rubmaps, so I'm a little curious about it. Here's the address.
