I am in agreement with you. I have had little time too talk it through with Lindsy and help her. Yes I believe she is throwing up her hands and she was not doubt intimidated yesterday. The irony of it all is she is one of a few that really gives a good honest massage and does not want to do extras.

Regarding Bedford, I'm amazed and wonder what legal right they have in doing what they did. I couldn't find anything posted on the town's website if they are going to start regulating bodywork like Arlington & Newton do. To just walk into a place and say you have to close and you can stop paying rent? What about the rent they already paid? Do you really think a landlord is going to give them back the remainder of Septembers rent that they already paid when they can't operate the business anymore? And most, if not all of the owners, will simply throw up their hands and say ok and walk away and not question the legality of what the town is doing. What if a place is legit? Just because they're Asian they're being targeted? We might as well go back to the days when businesses had "NINA" signs posted.
]My source is direct from horses mouth. I know Lindsey well of Bedford Spa. None of the three places in Bedford are licensed as Mass massage businesses. I know what some read and believe about 54 Middlesex being a registered ' massage' business. It is NOT despite what the sign or ads might say. To further clarify an owner might have a Mass massage license but may choose for various reasons to not operate business under license and instead operate under Bodywork. It question the legal grounds of what they did yesterday but I am not an attorney. That's the facts as I know them now.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
