When I walked in I was told 70/ hr. There were koreans at the time and only one was semi attractive..so of course I got the fugly one. I was sure a happy ending was coming due to my massues having a very short skirt on when I walked in. Unfortunately she had put pants on underneath when she came back into The massage room. The massage was uwful and rushed, of course the table shower was no different. I left right after getting dressed and the ***** knee not to adk for tip. I tip for good massages and extras. I don't inderstand how a massage can make money and not provide at least one. I I cannot believe the mongering in chicago is worse than atlanta. If anyone can help me out I can return the favor when you in my city. I am looking for a good massage first and extra if possible but not necessary. Oh also I have rtff and have found nothing useful for me. I am in north Chicago close to iron dale and Schaumburg. Pm will be much appreciated. Also I love chocolate independents.

This is a new spot that I've been passing by every day with curiosity. Has anyone visited.

I will miss Bebe. I think she must have been an athlete earlier on. She sure liked to play with balls and was certainly skilled at it. I wonder where she went now that smile spa in Diamond is closed?

In fact, the last 2 times there was not even a massage instead she dropped her top and went right to work and FS was on the menu but I didn't. I think I even wrote a post about my last visit there.

Could be she didn't recognize you and I'm sorry that you had a bad experience.

Looking to pop my Nuru cherry. Anyone got any good recommendations for toe curlin Nuru? Of course I would expect FS to be part of the package...

[QUOTE=Wanderer01;2083367]It said it is under new management so it may have changed. Also it saids new girls.[/QUOTE]I was there about 2 weeks ago and had a very good experience. Although, the BP ad does look different now...

[QUOTE=Wanderer01;2083367]It said it is under new management so it may have changed. Also it saids new girls.[/QUOTE]And you believe an ad that has fake pictures?

It could be that the owner told one of the exsisting girls that she is the "manager" hence "new management". Also, most AMP's rotate girls every month or so, some more and some less, on a regular basis. I know one who has been at 4 AMP's in the last 2 months alone. Sometimes a girl will work for someone who owns 3 or 4 and because she likes the owner or the owner treats her well she will rotate thru all of them spending a month or so at each one. It depends on the deal.

BUT...now that you brought this up, you just gave me a reason to go and investigate. Soon I hope...LOL.

Thanks,

I know some of the Asian apt offer it because I saw an air mattress at a few of them a while back. At the time I didn't want to pay more than the standard fee.

I will be in the area of this place Thursday and I have been trying to wean myself off my regulars. Everyone says Thai massages are the best so I was thinking taking a scroll here in the evening. If anyone has been here any intel it would be appreciated thanks in advance!

Thai Spicy Girls is a safe option.

Thanks for the heads up!

Saw bailey downtown. Super hot girl. Doesn't seem like the menu allows for much besides a great handshake. But had a great time.

I will be visiting Chicago and want to check out massage and other fun. Are there places near the intersection of Diversey and Clark?

Are the LMPs there?

I'm open to other suggests for fun too.

Norm.

Agreed that could use tips from Logan squad, but price is better and change of pace from HE only AMPs.

It takes years of practice to be an exceptional masseuse I seriously doubt everyone of them are trained in Thai style massage techniques and even if I did get one there I couldn't say I had a Thai style massage because it would be a Chinese one. I really would like to try a good one from an authentic Thai massage practitioner that is not absurdly priced.

I would love to find authentic thai massage.

They had extra wide floor mattress, the whole nine yards. She was good, better than most of what I experienced in Thailand.

Also, one of the foremost practitioners of Thai massage lives (or perhaps lived) in evanston. I believe he has (or had) a school here as well.

It's out there if you really want it. In a city this large, I would be surprised if you can't find at least a decent Thai massage. Myself, I generally prefer deep tissue but if I see something regarding Thai massage, will post up about it. You won't know if it's good until you try.

By the way, ever notice how many Mexicans are cooking at Chinese restaurants? I get what you are saying about experience but come on, let's not be so prone to stereotypes.

Been a while since I posted, I've frequented this place quite a few times as my 2nd attempt at a AMP, this worked out for an location wasnt too far from my ride. Its closes early 10 PM I've only done walkins never bothered calling only had to wait about 10 min one time. Overall the place is pretty clean, parking in back and back door atmosphere is good. Girls are Korean and my guess is mid 30's and higher look good. House fee is .70 for and I tip .60, standard HE, roaming allowed, nothing else on menu.

Dreams with.

Sue. Best IMO, cute, back walk if you desire, strong hands good massage, nice HE.

Yukko. Better looking and older than Sue massage is good too, nice HE.

Candy. Ok looking, weak hands, massage not as good as the others, HE was ok.

Uh oh, it appears as if one of the city's top AMPs, New Hope on Lincoln near Belmont / Ashland, may be in trouble. Per the City of Chicago's BACP website (Business Affairs & Consumer Protection), it has an upcoming hearing for May 19. I certainly hope that this isn't the beginning of the end for New Hope. For all the info, Google 'City of Chicago Business Affairs & Consumer Protection' (it'll list the website). Click on, and then scroll down to Supporting Information. Click there, and it'll take you to a section that you click to provide you with a hearing schedule. Also, on the sidebar of the page is a section called "Hearings and Disciplinary Actions": it shows a list of all license revocations. So far in 2014, there have been 0 revocations of massage parlors. Let's hope it stays that way after this hearing.

Either department will come in and after an inspection will find numerous so called violations that will cost the owners alot of money to repair. The owner is cited and given 60 days to repair the violations or appear at a hearing. So rather than spend the money for costly repairs they close up shop and open elsewhere under a new name. Chicago seems to have this down to a science because 1 week the Health Dept will walk in and 2 weeks later Building & Zoning will walk in and all of a sudden the owners are buried in citations and hearing dates. I guess this way is cheaper for the city because they don't involve the police and the court systems. Some owners do the repairs but alot don't and just close up.

Sad.

I have never understood how that place has carried on for five years or so. On weekend days there is heavy traffic going in and out of that place.with a major brunch place just two doors down. It is not a residential block at all but I just can't believe that the beat cops weren't very aware what was going on. And on a very large scale. They must be making a few million a year there with 2-3 rooms busy most of the time (at least that was my experience going there a few times).

Service was exceptional and consistent. The girls knew how to give a massage and a finish. They will be sorely missed and I do mean sorely.

Having lived in Chicago and run a business on the Norths side for many years, I'm here to tell you that the proper contributions to local officials would have taken care of this type of thing. The right contributions to the right people will get them to look the other way and leave just about any business alone.

Just MTCW.

[QUOTE=FSexperience;2077311]Stopped by for a massage. Its .45 for the 1/2 hr and .65 for 1 hr with free table shower. I went for the 1/2 hr and free regular shower since I was in a hurry. The girl was a thick but younger Asian but the massage was REALLY good and she seemed to know exactly what she was doing. She walks on your back, using the poles on the ceiling, which I didn't even notice at first. Even after the massage, she gave me some extra time and did my neck / shoulder, which has been hurting really bad. Would recommend if you need a good massage and HE as well, but I wouldn't try it again as I like variety..there are also 2 other massages right around the corner that I just might have to give a try as well. Happy hunting!

[URL]http://chicago.backpage.com/TherapeuticMassage/chinatown-massage/18417363[/URL][/QUOTE]I agree with your assessment. Nice clean location. Probably wouldn't repeat, unless in a pinch. She brought her puppies out and I got to pet and lick. She was a very nice provider and actually did a good job with the massage. I left happy.

[QUOTE=DMichaels69;2086374]I would love to find authentic thai massage.[/QUOTE]Anybody ever been to the massage parlor at Irving and Western, next to a Thai restaurant? If my memory is correct, they advertised Thai girls. By the way, what is the difference between thai massage and, say, deep tissue Chinese massage?

[QUOTE=AvgJoe;2051699]F / S is available at both United and Ace but the girls are not the best looking and well over 40.

Mercy and Michigan Ave are the same owner. Both are not the cleanest and I would avoid them if possible.

Chinatown AMP's are hit or miss unless you can get into the 2 private spas.

Hope this helps you out.[/QUOTE]Thanks to those who posted responses and to the folks that PM'ed me. The business portion of my trip to Chicago went well, but that meant I didn't have much free time. Managed to hit Mercy's downtown location twice since it was only blocks away from where I was staying. Both times visited with Coco, who was pretty cute and offered a solid massage... Not the best I've had, but I'd say a bit better than average. First time got a decent tug to finish things, 2nd time full service. Overpriced for full service but it was worth it to me under the circumstances and I'd say the quality was solid. Overall it was a good experience and I'd visit again were I in the area.

Thanks again.

This place looks very public which makes me doubt any extras. Will I leave happy?
