"None of the three 'body works' spas required to get a new license from the city to operate did so by a Jan. 13 deadline, and now sources are telling The Breeze that representatives for at least two of the establishments plan to sue the city over the situation. ".

"The notorious North Main Street Spa may have a new name. But police and neighbors, as well as internet postings on sex sites, say it was business as usual at the old massage parlor now called 'Smilers Day Spa. '.
Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long.
Smilers. What did you expect?
It does not matter whether or not the limited services at Smilers "hurts anyone". Rhode Island is actually a pretty socially conservative, Catholic state. The bedroom police will always outnumber the libertarians and hobbyists combined.
Also, these busts are low-hanging fruit for the cops. And they will always want to make the bust before the media posts stories asking why they aren't enforcing the law.
I'm pretty sure that this would have happened regardless of what was posted here. But folks here certainly didn't make it harder for the police to make their case.
