150 Merrimac St Newburyport Busted
NEWBURYPORT — Affixed between a private math instruction service and a counseling center, the red sign outside the office building at 150 Merrimac St., known as Merrimac Landing, offered clients hot stone Thai massages. But yesterday afternoon, police raided the business after the female owner offered an undercover police officer more than massages, in fact, sexual favors in return for money. Women1, 47, Brooklyn, and. Why., was charged with one count of engaging in sexual conduct for a fee after her arrest. She is expected to be arraigned today at Newburyport District Court. Police were hoping to hold her in custody last night, believing she could be a flight risk. Inspector Michael said Women1 was advertising her sexual services on Craigslist and other sites known to attract clients. A phone number on the red sign matched a phone number spotted on Craigslist, raising the suspicions of police as they continued their investigation. Shortly before the raid an undercover officer visited the massage parlor after police had been conducting surveillance of the business for more than a week. "There was an agreement that more than a massage would take place," City Marshal Thomas said. City Marshal Thomas, along with Lt. Mark and 2 detectives, entered the building shortly after 2 pm As they were conducting the raid, police apprehended a man they believe was a client. No charges are expected to be filed against the client, with Howard saying police did not believe he had committed a crime by the time police arrived. He is also expected to aid police as they continue their investigation, Howard added. "This is unusual, but it's not completely out of the realm of things," City Marshal Thomas said. Underground massage parlors turn up more and more thanks to websites that allow these types of businesses to flourish under the radar and well before other businesses take notice. But City Marshal Thomas said Women1's business neighbors grew suspicious as they saw an increase in client traffic. "Clearly it was illegal," City Marshal Thomas said. The building at 150 Merrimac St., located near the intersection with Boardman Street, contains eight professional business offices.

Someone somewhere did reviews
[QUOTE=HappyDave;2055101]Worst thing in business happens when you don't,advertise, nothing. The game of the oldest profession and key stone cops, will go on for ever. Craigslist and complaints are what really did them in. Just curious were they ever reviewed here?[/QUOTE]Posted in the article.
"The three online reviews Sugrue could access told of separate incidents when men claimed they received more than the standard therapeutic massage at Merrimac Bodyworks from different women named Joanne, Kate and Bonnie. The reviews explained in some detail how the reviewers were manually brought to sexual gratification for a $70 fee by the women they encountered.".
The worst 278 Centre St Quincy

Ocean Q, Ocean Wey, Double -you Norwell. One owner for all 3- treats customers like crap, worse, he treats his workers like crap.
There are better options out there, much better.

I had a lousy massage, and no HE. Tip. Zero. Anna from 2nd Floor at Coddington started it, and 2nd floor was always a happy place. I have never read a "happy" review. And they charge 70. Plus their parking lot is way too exposed for me.
no apology necessary at all
Glad you enjoyed it. I reward good service, non haggling, sweetness and effort. I have under tipped at times and over tipped. It is completely a personal thing. Thanks for validating my tip though...I was beginning to doubt myself. I assume that you saw Sasa? Sweet girl in a very tough "career". So many guys forget how much their job must really suck (no pun intended). Respect these girls and reward them. I have no time for people who under tip good service and feel proud of it. It's the same thing asgoing out to eat and leaving 10-15% after good service. You save your dollars but in the end you are a jerk.
[QUOTE=SmokeScreen;2055951]I just got back from Canterbury and it was one of my best non FS times. I will never doubt you again and hope you accept my apology, BTW, I tipped the same as you.[/QUOTE]
Sad day for Quincy Mongers
Made an appointment yesterday at 1147 2nd floor with LeiLei. GOt to the door and some fugly girl answers and says she's LeiLei. Definitely not the Leilei I know and love. Asked if Gina was available she said she was gone to China.. Can this be true? This was one of my favorite places and now they've vanished like the wind. Looks like the only decent option in Quincy anymore is Mandy at Bills. Any idea where they might resurface? Is Gina gone for good?
