Many of us don't know how to distinguish fact from opinion or where to find credible sources.
Your updates are most helpful.
Thanks!

Thanks![/QUOTE]LEO enforcement is a business. 1 to 3 weeks left IMO. Could be as little as a few days.

It is official now.

[QUOTE=LatinHunt;2572432]Fucking A, we're screwed. I'm thinking it's not safe anymore.[/QUOTE]I concur. Assuming that they could get a license. A rather large assumption. Licensure is a ticket for LEO to check on compliance. Too much for me.

It's as safe today as it has ever been since to get a massage, at least until spas start operating under new rules.
Have to wonder thogh, would police really be the ones checking on enforcing business regulations? I would think it would be board of health or some agency, police don't enforce business code violations.

There are already 56 Million woman not wokring. Shutting down places like this.
Will just cause more people on the government dol.

She said they were just inspected and do not expect a change until about a year. So question is, as the new law / ordinance is put into place, will it be retroactive or on the renewal date of each establishment. Providence was a real quiet shut down. Closing of establishments due to licensing is a M. F 9-5 inspectional services operation. Outside of that enforcement of prostitution laws is by uncle LEO. Depends on how it's written but most likely someone will ring that little white doorbell we all love, flash an I'D, say party over shut down or we will shut you down, then the little neon lite we all love will go out for good.

Ya, I know they shut down providence quietly, without raids, but who knows what will happen in pawtucket. We're all speculating, therefore because of the uncertainty I don't feel it's as safe as it was before. Based on what I've heard, read, and what my gut feeling is, I would guess that there is less than a week or two left. Possibly even days. As a matter of fact I wouldn't be surprised one bit if the shoe dropped this Sunday morning. The city council overrode the mayor's veto on Wednesday. This hobby is toast. Have you been to the spa's lately? I went to harmony last week. You could tell the mamasam knew that gig was up. She made zero effort to hide customers from each other. I literally saw 4 other customers while I was there. That is not normal operational procedure. They know it's over.

On the way out I got a good look at the mamasam's face. She looked worried. I don't think they are correct about the rule change being in about a year. That seems like wishful thinking.
