Twelve milkmen is theoretically possible. Thirteen is silly.
I've always been fascinated by the underlying circumstances that allow some of these places to stay open and thrive while others don't last long. I have no special knowledge, no inside baseball, but I've always just assumed it's a matter of LEO having limited resources, maybe combined with some backroom deals and a healthy amount of "we can ignore you as long as you don't do anything stupid". I also think there is probably an art to running one of these places and being able to fly under the radar for years -- knowing how to size someone up when they walk in the door, having the right connections and knowing which palms to grease. And we've seen a few spas open in just the last year or so I believe and quickly get busted.
I do worry that the renaissance of AMPs going on in Amelia right now might be approaching critical mass; how many of these shops can crowd into one small area before LEO's hand is forced and they have to do something to appease the Karens? I forget the name, but let's not forget that an AMP was just busted a few months ago that was located a little to the west of this area but along the same road.
I never made the trip to Sun Spa, though I thought about it. Something just felt off to me. The location was a little peculiar, being in an office building. I didn't see a whole lot of longtime senior members saying they had tried it out. And it's well known that these types of services are being cracked down upon in the northern locations of the city. I always kind of wondered if it might be a honeypot, and figured I'd give it some time first and see what happened. Now glad I did.
Just a few random musings. I've been wanting to check out Zen, but wholeheartedly agree that parking at the pediatrician's office is most likely a terrible idea. You know what they say, location location location. And I imagine that part of the art of keeping a parlor going for the long haul is choosing a properly discrete location. Will be interesting to see how long this place lasts. I like having the options in Amelia and hope they all continue to thrive, but only time will tell. Be safe and be smart, all.
