As of today.
Sun has a sign on the door, "Spring Vacation"
Fuji - is an empty building now
Osaka - is closed with a "non-payment" notice on door. Utilities being shut down.
King - was raided and shut down
Peace of Mind - is closed
The only one I didn't check was Ocean.
After reading this thread, I guess it explains why VIP and T Spa in Allentown have been closed for the past week or so. No signs about vacation or spring break, nothing in the local paper lately except for the bust at the spa in Hereford a couple of weeks back.
It may be only a matter of time before the 309 corridor is hit again? Time to lay low for awhile.

Perhaps it is all election related.
[QUOTE=Sam]Perhaps it is all election related.[/QUOTE]I think you are right.
Just drove by Aroma spa on 61. Looks like a dump. I could not check it out because I was not the only one in the car. Anyone been there?
From the Reading Eagle:
Berks County detectives have raided another massage parlor that they said is a front for prostitution.
Investigators Thursday night executed a search warrant in the Balance Wellness Center, 14091 Kutztown Road, also known as Route 222, in Richmond Township and arrested two women on prostitution-related charges.
Investigators said the women earlier agreed to perform a sex act on an undercover detective for money, investigators said.
It was the sixth raid in nine months on a massage parlor by county detectives. Authorities said each of the establishments raided was a front for prostitution.
Here is updated info on the most recent raid in Berk's County.
Must be an election year?

ec[/QUOTE]That sucks.
No wonder when i rolled by King Spa there was nobody there.
What a dissappointment.
Blue balls all the way home.
Seems kinda fishy that they have left the Schuylkill and Lehigh Valleys alone for "all these years". Then the PA Atty. General runs for "Da Governator", and now this. I don't know if it's the "low hanging fruit" theory, or shades of Elliot Spitzer's New York migrating south. Whichever it is, it stinks!
A friend who works in central Chester County told me that L. E. Has been parking within close proximity to "establishments" near the two (Lincoln Hwy) venues for extended periods of time. Sounds like somethings up there, too.
Berks County detectives Thursday night raided an Asian massage parlor in Shoemakersville that they said was a front for prostitution and arrested three women working there.
The raid at Peace of Mind Spa at 1360 Pottsville Pike, which also is Route 61, happened about 6 and followed a lengthy investigation sparked by complaints from area residents, authorities said.
Detectives got a search warrant and took the women into custody without incident, investigators said.
The three women were charged with prostitution and related offenses and were taken to the Berks sheriff's office in the county services center for processing.
The women, whose names were not immediately available, were awaiting arraignment late Thursday.
Court workers said they were trying to find interpreters for at least two of the women, who speak little or no English. All the women are Korean, authorities said.
It was the seventh raid in the past year by county detectives on massage parlors they said are fronts for prostitution.
Most of the women arrested in the raids are South Korean and some are in the country illegally, investigators said.
Federal investigators also have been working on the cases trying to determine if any of the women are victims of human trafficking.
District Attorney J.3 T. A. has said his office has made no concerted effort to target the businesses and that detectives have acted only in response to complaints from residents who suspect illegal activity.
Before Thursday night, the last raid was in March at Balance Spa Wellness Center, 14091 Kutztown Road, which also is Route 222, in Richmond Township. Two women were arrested in that raid.
City police also have raided two Asian massage parlors in the past year. Both were less than a block apart on Lancaster Avenue.
That seems to about do it.
Are there ANY amps left in the Reading or surrounding areas?
This territory used to have such a selection.

There are two MPs north on 61 about 10 miles up. Haven't been there but recall seeing reports saying they are American. KMP / CMP are usually better
P Chop
Aroma, Asian, is on the west side of road at 511 Route 61 S., Schuylkill Haven, PA

Both spas have billboards near the location of the other one. lol

There is a nice place in Coatesville, though I don't know how far that is from Reading.
