Any rumors on why Oriental closed? i.e. busted, etc?
I didn't know the Oriental was closed - what happened?
I was there and a guy was also standing outside and said they were busted the other day. so I ended taking a ride to relax that was a nice place.
I was informed by a reliable source the place has been sold. No definite word (obviously) on whether or not the same level of service will be offered.
I'm a newly moved to Wrigleyville from Dallas, Texas. New to the boards, so I'm not expecting posts right away but I would love some advice for a newbie in the city looking for good MP's to go to. I haven't had any time to wander the city on my own, but figure I'll start with Chinatown and figure it out from there. I'll report my progress.
Went to a place that has been advertising in the threapeutic section on CL.
They are next to an L stop at 4667 North Manor. Called and the guy who answered said they were open to 10, last appointment at 9:30. He was touting a staff of young Latin, Asian and European ladies.
I couldn't get there until the last appointment on Sunday night and the massuese was a young pretty European girl whose name I could never hope to pronounce, let alone spell. Half hour for .40, no shower offered, I doubt they have a TS. The place is a very small storefront, the window says it is a doctor's office also offering massage therapy. There is a small lobby in the front with a couple of chairs and a desk with a computer. Young Asian guy took the appointments and was on site the entire time.
The massage was fabulous. It was obvious from the start there would be no extras. Covered with a towel the entire time. She practically ran out of the room when she announced the massage was over. Who knows, maybe they are a little paranoid being new, if I look like a cop it would be one near retirement. I doubt it with this young girl though. Who knows maybe the other staff is more approachable. It has a vibe, especially the way the guy sells the variety of staff, and the office setup that it may have potential. Like any other place YMMV. She even offered me a glass of water onthe way out, you know to get rid of the toxins.
Hope you have better luck than me if you visit.

Are they trying to tell us something.[/QUOTE]When you get a pretty heavy duty massage, your body (muscles) are being broken down and there are toxins and things that break down and are in your system. Water will help flush those out more quickly. Most legit places do this but some of the good parlors will offer you water as well and you should take a bottle and drink it all. You will feel even better.
Actually, a real one will give you water because massaging of the other muscles (not just the "love muscle") does release toxins in the body. The water helps wash them out and replenishes your tissues. So do yourself a favor and drink the water. I have never been offered a glass its always been a bottle sealed. I guess I would turn down the glass and buy my own sealed bottle. Anyways it is a real and legit offer. Just my tow cents.

Some therapists believe that the act of massage releases toxins that have built up in muscle tissue. They recommend drinking water to help flush out these toxins. However, there is a lot of disagreement as to whether or not massage really does release toxins and whether water actually flushes away any toxins that may be released. No, I'm not a doctor, I just play one on TV.
This place's ads smack of Elle Spa. If the spas aren't related, they are at the very least employing the same tactics. I'm guessing a lot of guys are going to try them for extras and leave with blue balls. Been there, done that at Elle. I'll pass on this place.

Isn't that all that we are asking for is a little massaging of some muscle tissue looking for this toxin release ????
How does a therapist actually know that they have done well if they don't evidence this release ??
LOL

LOL[/QUOTE]Yeah I want that toxins release its just killing me inside water wont do any good :-)
Most of the places (Euro) we end up kind of tease you that u will get some xtra but all you get is a nice rub with some good looking Gal, so definately no toxins releasing from any where at all,

Made a couple of recent visits to the massage school on Irving Park Rd. Had 2 great experiences with a couple of students. Last week I had the owner, Kim. While the finish was as expected, the whole experience was nowhere near as good. When I got there I asked for a shower. I do this for their benefit more than mine. Her answer was "didn't you shower this morning".
I think she did not want to waste time as once in the room I was out the door 35 minutes later. Will probably go back but will ask for someone else next time. The other thing that pissed me off was she changed the price from .6 to .8. Not sure if the .6 is only for students.
I yacked during a massage at a Bally's once because I was still wasted from the night before. Too many toxins and not enough water. Yeah yeah whatever.
