I didn't see one, but that doesn't mean there isn't one there. I was more interested in the provider and her smile. Rooms looked fine. Maybe someone who has been can clarify.
[QUOTE=Wenger;7334932]Thanks for the updates, I'll be down there in a few weeks for work and may have to stop by. Did you happen to see if they have a shower? Preferably table but stand up would work too.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Emsumme;7291704]I've never posted on here but regularly follow the postings for advice. I second GolferDG's post from a few days ago. I saw Lily today and she matches the description of the second woman whom he described. She was phenomenal, in looks and performance, today and I highly recommend her. I also caught a glimpse of Mia on the way out and she was also exactly as he just described (very beautiful). I will absolutely be back there. Thanks, GolferDG.[/QUOTE]Met Lily the other day as well. Enjoyed her company and will repeat.
Met Tiny there last week. She formerly went by Lucky at Sun Rain and by Coco at HD Massage in Bloomington. Always a great time. She said they opened around the first of the month. Went back yesterday and the place is closed and everything was moved out, right down to the curtains on the windows. How very strange.

Will be visiting soon and was looking forward to finding a good massage, sounds like it's still very hit or miss.
I think this one is closed too. Stopped by last week and no one came to the door and got an error when tried to call.
No advertisements posted there in almost a month.
I spoke with the owner and a couple of the girls who had previously worked there and they are indeed closed. Not enough business to keep girls busy / coming back.
I guess I was personally bankrolling the operation. LOL The times I spent in the upper room there will always be memorable.
Sad times for us Central Illinois AMP lovers.

Sad times for us Central Illinois AMP lovers.[/QUOTE]Many issues with the Bradley location that hurt business.
Location was horrible and was hood adjacent. Parking was horrible. They never had attractive girls. They were always in their 50's with high mileage and unattractive. For that reason I never frequented this place. The times I did stop in, I turned around and walked out as the provider was not my type and was quite unattractive or obviously too old.
It's a harsh reality but the fact of the matter is, to myself and many mongers attraction and age play a large role on who we choose to see.
I'm willing to travel to find the right provider so I have zero issues skipping over local places that do not meet my expectations.
On a side note, AMPs are closing left and right all the place. Municipalities are becoming less and less friendly towards these businesses. Which creates another problem in and of itself.
I never went to the Bradley AMP it seemed kinda shady there but down the road at tf spa on main I had some of the best experiences there they had some good looking women filtering through there and then when it closed recently it broke my heart haha. I went to the one on lake st one time to see tiny and she was solid and now they closed too. I guess serenity in bartonville (I don't like their location on the main drag) and sun rain in Washington (ok location but still not ideal right by Walmart) are the two best options. Seems like it's going downhill unfortunately. Hopefully some new good locations pop up with good girls.

I had a discussion with a recently closed shop owner. They couldn't continue on because they had two girls on premise and some days they would have one customer. On a "busy" day they would have four customers. Apparently Peoria (and she mentioned Bloomington) are not providing enough monger support to keep things going.
Now before you say it. Yes, the quality of provider was an issue at some / most places. But even places that got unicorns now and then apparently the business was a small group of customers repeat visiting to see that particular provider. I can agree with that because when a good one would show up, I might visit three or four times over their two week stay.
Anyway. That is what I've learned from some investigation. I expect we are about to become very limited for options and may have to go to Chicago to find any opportunities. Just my three cents.

In this particular area, there was clearly an oversaturation of AMPs, which contributed to a noticeable decline in customer traffic. A few years ago, it was common to experience multiple interruptions during an hour-long session, so much so that I began limiting sessions to just 30 minutes. Now, I can complete a full hour without a single interruption.
The challenge with spotting "unicorns" (standout providers) is that unless you're regularly visiting these places—many of which have traditionally had older or less attractive providers, you're left to rely solely on personal, anecdotal experiences. That is, unless someone posts a review. When that happens, interest spikes and everyone flocks to that particular provider.
Interestingly, many AMPs have contributed to their own decline by strongly discouraging reviews. Ironically, those same reviews were often what generated business in the first place. Without them, demand drops and customer numbers fall. Of course, their reluctance is understandable, it's a way to avoid drawing unwanted attention from local authorities.
All in all, it's been a perfect storm of factors that is leading to a major shake-up in the scene.
Agree with you 100% Percius. The situation used to be so good and now it is just the opposite.
I have a great idea. We AMP lovers need to start our own AMP. Recruit the good ones for ourselves and a few older ones for the rest of the general monger population. What a place we could run. .

Kind of wondering about Red Dragonfly in Galesburg. Address is 807 Parkview Rd, Galesburg, Illinois 61401 but when you look it up all I come up with is 1231 Parkview court. Just wondering if anyone has been there. The pic I attached is what comes up when I look up 807 Parkview Rd.

It's actually on Parkview Road just off Henderson and doesn't have a porch. You can park at the mexican restaurant down the block or at the mall about a block away and walk if you don't want to park in the driveway. That being said when I visited earlier this year was a 50+ provider who gave a so so massage and FS. I was a little drunk so went with it but did have buyers remorse as I sobered up.

Who is at Sun Rain? Feel free to PM me. They young or old?
