They were always going to close.
[QUOTE=Gwamka;4794691]For what it's worth. Stopped by WPMS (IHOP) just to see what was going on and the place was cleared out. Looked like they were closed for good.[/QUOTE]I tried IHOP for the first time back in late January and drew Lily. She told me back then that they were closing. She was hoping they would move to a new location but I guess the pandemic threw gas on the fire.
New Benchmarks for The New Normal
Gentlemen,
As places begin the process of reopening, we must establish new performance benchmarks. In short, places that used to be good may not be anymore – and vise-versa. With a lot of the talent we knew and loved having vacated our city in response to the recent silliness, we must re-evaluate our Massage Parlor data and / or start from scratch. For example: as of one year ago, BO was a top-tier AMP with some phenomenal talent. Just prior to COVID, it had begun a transition to a Brazilian place. Now, I don't know what to expect if I find myself on that side of town. Should I even bother to stop? 6 months ago, it was one of my "Go-To" places. Now I have none. Another example: Just recently, You Massage has come roaring back with some great reviews. Prior to the silliness, it was more of a hit-or-miss establishment.
Hopefully, "old" favorites like KMS, NDS, MC, King, etc. Will resume as good or better than before. In the mean time, keep up the reviews and be willing to TOFTT at places that may not have been "Top Tier" in the past. The "new normal" has decidedly changed the game and will most likely yield some new gems as new talent moves in to fill the vacuum. Be safe out there.
Jack.
