[QUOTE=Lance18;6973401]Rivian has more than replaced the jobs lost from State Farm & Caterpillar (Cat currently has more Peoria area employees than any time since 1980's). State Farm had an huge offer to buy their Bloomington east campus, but didn't sell it. Nobody knows why.
I've seen Deb several times and always had a nice time. She is decent looking, BBBJ, CFS (female condom if you prefer), DFK, MSOG & reasonably priced for a traveling lady. Schedule ahead and get the 90 minute option. I've gone three times with her doing that.[/QUOTE]I don't think the issue was jobs or even the pirate captain that killed the Springfield visiting escort market. I know 2 ladies who years ago would drive up to Springfield from St. Louis for a couple days. They both did fairly well from my understanding but they both said if they had not had a regular who had scheduled a big block of time with them, it would not have been worth the drive and hotel expense if you factored in their opportunity cost. Basically if they had stayed in St. Louis, they would have made the same or more without the big regular in Springfield. What is sorta funny, is they both eventually ran into problems with the pirate captain but didn't let that deter them. But eventually after a couple of years, it just was not worth the hassle to make the drive up to Springfield. I don't know if they lost their Springfield regulars or what but both said the market was just too slow for them. Debra kept coming to Springfield until more recently. Maybe all the AMPs hurt the escort market?
