New Massage on Ridge Road
Seen a new place on south side of Ridge Rd. About a mile or so east of 19. It's called 7 Massage. Had a little time so I decided to stop in and see what was up. They had just opened that day and were running a $49 special for a one hour massage. The girl told me the owner was running this special price for a couple of weeks of grand opening. At that price I figured that I very little to lose. I'll start with the good news. The attendant was very nice and went by the name of Coco, nice body good personality with decent english skills. The place was also very nice, clean and neat and well decorated. They do have a couples room for those interested. They do not have a table shower but she told me that one was planed for down the road. The massage was excellent defantley pro quality. I asked and Coco told me she had attended massage school in both China and the USA Up north and in Florida. This is the bad news, at this time with this attendant the place is strictly professional massage only. If a great massage is what you are looking for then 7 Massage is the place for you. If you are looking for any extras then you will need to look elsewhere. I had to laugh when Coco pointed out that the have gift certificates that would be good for the wife or girlfriend.
NPR Considers Bathhouse Ban

At its meeting of 2019, the New Port Richey City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance that would ban bathhouses in the city.
The article cites Miyako and Kimura Spas.
How it would work.
The ordinance would ban any establishment that's not a medical facility from bathing clients. Anyone who violates the law would be fined up to $500 for each violation and possibly imprisoned for up to 60 days.
Manns said a companion ordinance regarding massage parlors themselves is also being considered by the city's land development review board. The text of that proposed ordinance is expected to be forwarded to the city council.
"Although they are permitted use in several of our zoning classifications, we don't currently have the definitions and standards that we'd like to have associated with the ordinance," Manns said.
A second reading of the bathhouse ordinance is expected to take place at the council's January 15 meeting, at which time it could be adopted.
