The closures are not surprising but was hoping for better days. Yes, its election year and that is the driving factor behind current closings. Recently the Fayetteville, Fuquay-Varina and Cary PD did a joint human trafficking operation and that was an indicator. Also, Democrat Cheri Beasley is running for the US Senate seat and her campaign ads are about stopping human trafficking in NC. It's just bad timing and though local massage parlors are 99% not involved in trafficking there is the media that portrays parlors in a negative way. The stores that remain open mostly have the reputation of not providing a solid massage.

These girls are happy to be working and making good money. According to a few friends in the law enforcement business, it's the mayor and council pushing them to bust these places because it looks good for the city.

[QUOTE=TheShredSter66;5921604]Somebody correct if I'm wrong but it seems the only spas in the area still open are osaka, sunny, and maybe moon? Heard 1+1 finally got shut down end of last week. So with everywhere in that area closed took a chance at osaka. It was a typical lackluster experience where an old lady half assed a massage then wanted $80 bucks to pull out some not very big probably saggy tits. Didn't go for it at all. I hate to sound so whiny but man this area is in the dumps. Has been for a while too.[/QUOTE]Still Open?

JJ's List & ratings
[QUOTE=AGoodGuy;5925587]Clarification. Check JJ's list for ending rating. Two parlours above are rated D for difficult.[/QUOTE]Does "difficult" mean that you have to more forward or more lucky?

[QUOTE=ElectricHug;5926398]Does "difficult" mean that you have to more forward or more lucky?[/QUOTE]More of luck or after a trust has been established after a few visits. The lady has to keep it quiet because the boss frowns upon extras when the business is being portrayed as non-erotic.

Are you sure?
[QUOTE=GolfPro38;5917298]7 HF cash + tip.[/QUOTE]I know you wrote 70 HF in a post earlier this month. I just paid $90 for an hour there at Ruby Spa in Durham and I guess it depends what you think of a "sensual finish," but did not leave Happy. Plus, a super busy place on a Sunday evening with what seemed to be only one girl working. As they are surely aware that things are drying up in this area, could they just be pumping up their prices just or are you sure about the $70 house fee at Ruby? Hope you're putting out accurate info.
Separate news -- terrible that New YoYo closed. Both Gia and Julie (Ju-ri) did great work for me just last month.

Trey.[/QUOTE]Sorry to hear, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if they raised up to $90 given inflation, lack of competition in the triangle, much less Durham / CH. How forward were you e. G. Pre-tipping and touching the provider?

Ruby. Struck out

Trey.[/QUOTE]I've been to Ruby 3-4 times in the past. Nice clean place. Girl was cute with a next door look but was fun on the flip. Nice and flirty but not dirty old washed up. Any way that's what I liked. Was there today and once I'm face down she tells me that she can't "help me today". Then explains that too many places are getting shut down and she needs to be careful.
Not one to take no I press but with no luck. I'm not a dick about about it, I just ask in a different way or try to explore my options but she wasn't havening it. She offered for me to stay by myself and do what I need to and she offered me towels. Nice try but I declined. I left a smaller tip and likely won't return unless I hear that things have changed.
I'm interested to hear what you guys have experienced lately.

Here is my opinion about Ruby. The boss has made a business decision. The boss knows in order to stay open while others has closed is to stop providing a HE. How does the boos keep the staff from leaving? The boss raises the house fee to compensate the HE tip the staff will not be receiving.
Should the staff still provide a HE for regular customers and no HE for new customers? My opinion is the boss thought this through and decided no HE across the board because they can't remember everyone who is a regular. Plus a blanket no HE policy should counter an undercover uncle visit who will most definitely say they have been there several times before and always received a HE.
Tough times and high gas prices makes it worse when looking for alternatives.

Trey.[/QUOTE]Yes the info is correct for 45 -50 minutes. Rates on their web site were higher at the time time. Can't explain that. I don't post junk.
That was a couple weeks back.
Only 1 girl working then, no name provided other than Ruby.
I tried again very recently and couldn't get an appointment until later.
That didn't work so that's been it.
