PG. Diamond, TWBC, TK,Rising Star and VIP
There has been discussion here that we Virginia folk should consider crossing the great divide of the Potomac to experience. Well - more.
I read the PG board where the listed locations are discussed. I did a tour that consisted of visiting each one to inquire about initial price, ask to see their table shower and the massage room. Here is my report:
Diamond. No sign. I had to search the building to find what looked like the place in the basement. The mamasan showed me the rooms. One had a door. Others just a curtain The place felt creepy to me. I passed.
Rising Star -no sign. Good location, second floor. Looked ok. But front door blocked with an iron screen security door. Mamsan would not let me enter unless I agreed to a massage. Could be good, but I moved on.
TWBC -no sign. So so location. Place had a 1950's feel to it. Mamasan did not want to show me around.
TK. Nice office building location. Like TWBC the place looked thrown together. But Mamsan was nice. The standard one hour massage at all these places (except at TK) is 0. 6 for an hour. TK was 0. 7.
VIP. Acupuncture sign. I actually visited this place second and then returned after the others. Good location. Easy Parking. Very nice young mamasan. This looks much like a legit massage place. Very clean, bright and open with light. The mamasan showed me a room which looked better than any I have visited. The table shower was busy, so I told her I would come back. After the other visits above I did come back. I am glad I did. By far the prettiest therapist I have ever had. A very good massage. The table shower explored parts of my body that are typically enclosed in darkness. I did not negotiate with my provider. Instead I gave all the money I had (a reasonable amount bringing the total under $1. 9) and told her to have her way with me. She happily agreed and locked the door. The best AMP experience I have had followed. It was a full experience.
It was splendid. I got her name, but she asked me to to publish it.
So, I do recommend crossing the river occasionally. With the exception of Diamond, any of these places could be good on a given day. VIP was good on the day I visited.

That brings back some memories
[QUOTE=Roger1286;3737605]Over the years, I have been to many places that give out the cards. Some have half off after 5 visits. Most of these places are not in NOVA. The thing that I notice is that often they note the date of the visit and the provider initials / signs them. I guess that does show that you have been there before and maybe the level of service that is associated with the initialed provider. I usually pitch them because at 100-120 a pop, I ask myself: Am I willing to spend a thousand bucks to get a freebie? At least for me the answer is no, as I would rather spend it exploring the other options. Back in the 80's, God I am old, there was a great FS spa run by some white country gals on Rt. 30 west of Gettysburg that kept a 3 x5 index card on file for each customer. They kept the details and some info of the proclivities and after a certain number of visits you got a freebie. I must say I spent enough there and was surprised that they actually did keep track and I got the "this one is free" visit and the owner came out and said she would be the provider. I guess she had read the details of my proclivities and wanted some. Sh*t I miss those days.[/QUOTE]I used to travel quite a bit around the mid-Atlantic in the mid-and-late 1990's. I lost my MP cherry at a spot west of Gettysburg about 25 years ago. If I recall correctly, Silkflowers was the name of the place. I don't recall their having such a system, and if they did they didn't tell me. Silkflowers changed hands about a year or so following my first visit and I stopped going after a couple of unimpressive visits under the new ownership. There was another place a few miles to the west on Route 30, up near the mountain, but I never returned there following a bad experience.
I recall there were a couple of places in or around Harrisburg that gave cards to mongers; the cards were marked or punched on each visit. Supposedly I would have gotten a freebie once the card was filled, but Uncle LEO shut them down long before that happened.
Getting back closer to home, I can't recall ever receiving such cards or offers of freebies at any MP or AMP in or around the DC region. There were some individual providers at various establishments who offered me upgraded levels of service for repeat visits, but that was about it.
