[QUOTE=MrNoodly;1506805]Well, JC's is about a block away.[/QUOTE]Went there a few weeks ago. Had a good experience. No drama in that place and they treat you well. Not the best looking ladies but I have always been treated well. Given the recent dialogue on here I will leave it at that.

Yes, but JC is off the beaten path a little bit, and is in a small rinky-dink plaza. It is not surrounded by Chilis and Staples and other fairly nice establishments. That was my point about location. Peace, JM.

That was my point about location. Peace, JM.[/QUOTE]The several times I went to SCS, I never felt like the location was a problem. If anything, it said to the world,"No problem here, folks. Just another legit business. Ignore us." In contrast, the location of Rainbow / Hannah / Capri, for example, or Galaxy, or Spa 74 almost screams,"Suspicious stuff going on here!" Legit spas don't locate in run down strip malls and the backs of industrial parks, or next to strip clubs or sex shops. They locate where the female leisure class is comfortable going. Because the customers of legit massage places are about 85% women. A "spa" in a skeevy location is obviously catering to men, and most men want something more than a good therapeutic massage. So I say put the rub & tug joints in respectable locations, if they can afford it. Hell, put them in the big malls. Put them in Uptown office buildings. Hide them in plain sight. Then we can blend in. We can come and go as if the AMPs were nothing more illicit than a barber shop, travel agent or dentist. When we park in a busy shopping center, we're just one of many. When we park outside someplace like Papaya, in a deserted strip mall, we look far more suspicious. If you feel uncomfortable with a location like SCS, then I suggest it's because you feel guilty and think you need to sneak around. What we really need to do is just walk into AMPs with confidence, like absolutely nothing is wrong. THAT deflects suspicion.

With all due respect, I think you miss my point. Personally, I have no problem with their location. It is a much safer area than most of the other MPs in Charlotte. Yes, many or most of the other MPs or AMPs are in more sketchy areas; in fact many have strip clubs very close by. Therefore, these AMPs do not necessarily have neighboring companies such as Subway, Staples, Chilis, etc. Sharing the same parking lot and sidewalks. There is very little "walk-in traffic" in the other businesses that surround most of these other AMPs. My point is that SCS moved into a fairly upscale plaza in a prominent area surrounded by businesses that care greatly about their neighboring businesses. And, of course, the landlord must keep the plaza free of any business that could tarnish their image. For example, while tattoo places can be completely legit, I do not think you will usually find such an establishment in a more upscale plaza like this. And then Kim was stupid to tint their windows very dark, which did not scream "legit legit legit." She recently had the tint removed. My point is that (1) LEO will more likely to target an MP that moves into more upscale areas where very legitimate businesses and franchises exist and (2) landlords will be much more picky about who they lease to and will cause problems if they learn there is prostitution at one of their leased spaces. Both of these points have concerned me from the first time I went there earlier this year. By the way, their landlord knows about this site and the reviews about SCS and wants to evict them. LEO has made a few "visits" there. Kim is doing her best to make the place look legit now and salvage her business. Finally, your last comment about feeling guilty and needing to sneak around is definitely not the case and after 30 years of walking into AMPs, I probably have too much confidence walking in. Anyways, let's move on, even if we disagree. Peace, JM.

The whole point is, when you are running a place like this you want to be LOW KEY and DISCREET! Being in a plaza where people bring their kids will always invite trouble. I think that is the whole point.

Stacey's has Improved
In my past posts concerning my experiences at Stacey's have been negative. However, I thought that I would give Stacey's another try since the Backpage advertisements show "new girls". I went there last Friday. I am sure glad that I did. The experience was Great! I had Mandy that said she usually worksnin Columbia, SC. Mandy had a great attitude as well as a wonderful body. The massage part was OK. However, she knew how to get down to business. A full menu was available. However, there was absolutely no up selling which is unusual for Stacey's. Also, Mandy did not short change me on time. I got an entire hour. She sent me on my way with a big smile. Stacey's now gets "two thumbs up" from me.

AMP on Tyvola?
I hadn't been to Costco in a long time, so I had never seen the place in front of it, out by Tyvola, with the big FOOT MASSAGE sign. There's a Subway on one side and Sprint store on the other. It had the general look of an AMP, with curtains over the door and posters of Asian hotties in the window. Does anyone know anything about this place?
