I've been there once. Was WAY over-priced for very little, including the massage and time. Haven't been back.
[QUOTE=Eaglefire;6426015]So I decided to just text them and when I told them the address was wrong, they gave me the address for the adress for the place behind the Asian Market across from winco.[/QUOTE]
I saw a follow up article to the March raid, looks like the place on the GW just before the Uptown got hit just the other day. It may be awhile before things cool down.
This makes me wish there were more escort gsls that offered massages.
Stay safe everyone.

I've been seeing adds for this place on STG, decided to take the risk and check them out. Got there and there was some guy just standing in front of the door, his back was to me so I left. Moved my car from. Where I was so I could see if maybe he was waiting to go in himself. Not sure how long he just stood there, I saw a cruiser drive through the parking lot so I took off. Decided it wasnt worth the risk to stick around.

Well, I wonder how long it'll take for them to close down the rest of them?

[QUOTE=KalEl05;6450218]Well, I wonder how long it'll take for them to close down the rest of them?[/QUOTE]I'm guessing it won't be too much longer. Shangri La was a fun place, I had an awesome experience there.
All honesty, I'm surprised that the people running the shops haven't cut their losses and moved out already themselves and set up elsewhere. Escorts are getting too damn expensive.
If they do end up closing down the rest, I do believe it'll mean the end of my massage fun. I'm not going to waste my time and money trying to sort of good from bad on escort websites.

TNA isn't bad but some of them are starting to charge outrageous prices.
And why would any guy in his right mind agree to those? I would just laugh, and just say, "sorry, too much for me. ".

[QUOTE=KalEl05;6452094]Where is Fragrant Oil Spa??[/QUOTE]You know that little strip mall right after Autozone on Clearwater? It was at the very end of that just before the mobile home park.
[QUOTE=KalEl05;6452091]And why would any guy in his right mind agree to those? I would just laugh, and just say, "sorry, too much for me. ".[/QUOTE]I know. I won't, but apparently some people do. I've seen gals on there posting anywhere from 300 up to 700 or more for an hour. No idea who the hell pays that but apparently some do.

All of these busted seemed to rotate often, never have providers cars parked there (except Shangri La) when open. Next, I think all it took was an undercover visit to get offered extras or to see signs of habitation and it was all over.
Many of the ones still open seem to be locally owned, have their licenses displayed and don't rotate providers. And some are full service shops. I was kind of surprised about VIP but I think it changed owners (since Susan ran it) and I haven't been there in years.
Of course, that doesn't mean that these other shops aren't on their radar! Personally, I haven't visited any of them (except a single provider HJ only shop) in almost a year. Somehow I figured this might eventually happen because some of them were so obvious they were just sex shops, not AMPs.
