Massage Parlor Reports

[Call234]

I didn't get more into the AMP game until 2021 but I remember reading about how HR was BBBJ until COVID happened and really wished I could have been able to experience that 😭.

I think I still rate Momo as my favorite AMP provider around the area till this day, even more than Soda and I'm a huge fan of those floppers she has.

I think both Momo and Soda were definitely top tier providers. Maybe they will resurface in the area again. In addition to their beautiful looks, I thought that they each were a pleasure to talk to as well. Both seemed so confident and self-assured. I loved them both.

I agree 100% most of the time we never know. Its fast money, boom and bust cycle. Notable closures that left my balls hurting: Original Osaka (2007), Lucky on Kennedy (2016), Kims on Kennedy (20 xx), Han River (2020), Yoshiko (2022), Vinca / Sunlight (2025).

I never went to the original Osaka, but I have been to all the others. I remember the first time I went to Lucky Spa. The mamasan led me to the room, I got undressed and put on a towel. The provider, whose name I don't remember, came into the room. She was probably a 9. 5 out of 10 in looks. I was happily shocked to see that she was only wearing a tiny thong. That place was wild and was probably the closest to a full-on brothel that I have ever seen in the area. I liked Kim's a lot as well. I would imagine before the end of 2025, that there will be one or two places to replace Vinca and Sunlight.

What do you guys rate as the best places within 40 miles of St. Pete?

Any Pine Tree reviews to be had for July? Current lineup there and recommendations? Please describe the girls LOOKS in DETAIL! .

Happy Mongering!

2019 Han River was the best era that I've been around for. June and of course Soda. RIP.

I will just say this, many of these AMPs come and go over the years, and sometimes we never find out what really happened.

A lot of amateur Sherlock Holmes on here, ha. I don't know exactly, but most LEO that I know could care less and would rather go after real criminals (& believe anything between consenting adults should be legal). But yes have heard that sometimes a neighbor will complain (especially in a busy shopping center & the AMP is crazy busy) and they / LEO might visit them and give them a heads up to chill. It seems like that happens in O Town regularly. Then when it does they have to find a new place. Which of course takes a little time. It's not like these ladies are drug users or killers or anything at all (In fact most of them are pretty clean cut / healthy types and lot don't even drink), so I wouldn't think it would be high up the totem pole. But you never know sometimes some of them get too much / a lot of times on their hands. Just speculating (Like others!

I agree with what you have said. I am not clear about what happened to Sunlight. I had a very good visit there in June. My best guess is that it is another business in the area, or strip mall, that has complained about them. Also, that is a heavily residential area, so it could have been a local homeowner (s). I will just say this, many of these AMPs come and go over the years, and sometimes we never find out what really happened. All that being said, over a decade ago when I first got into this hobby, there were around 28 AMPs in all of Pinellas. To the best of my knowledge, there are now over 60 AMPs in Pinellas alone. I cannot even keep track of them all anymore. My advice is to just enjoy some of the others we have to choose from. This is still a paradise compared to many areas of the country. Stay safe.

[JohnnieCox]

Now that Vinca & Sunlight is closed. Where is the next best option?

Not interested in PT. They don't do BBBJ.

That is a must- at least BBBJ and DATY.

This sucks!

[Apax219]

I took a look at Sunlight and Vinca are both closed at the moment. Don't know what's up hope it not perm.

[GemiHilarious]

I kinda doubt its LEO. Honestly if it was so distracting it might be the other businesses in the mall. They could complain especially if there is limited parking. Then the property owner might ask them to leave. That's what happened on Kennedy a few years ago when a bunch of great AMPs were there. Palace was there (different name then) and she had to move her place because some Karen found her husband going to the joint and she threw a fit.

[Bearing100]

Interesting, do you know the reason? Is it because of community complaints, not keeping records of customers, something else?

The department of health website has a feature to search disciplinary actions and complaints. I did multiple searches, going back three years and only came back with a handful of massage establishment results in Pinellas. None of our favorites were on the list.

I searched for specific licenses. Vinca and sunlight come back current and "clear. " No complaints or discipline listed.

I read the affidavit for the most recent establishment violation. It was a place in the 2800 block of 66th st. Finding was 2 men offering massage without license. The thing is, although the affidavit was signed May 1, the investigation was dated almost 3 years ago.

My conclusion is that its possible department of health enforcement took place but it might be years before we see the records.

Finally, I noticed that Vinca's license is only active since 2023 but there were 2 other voided licenses at that location previously. So their countermeasure appears to be changing the licensee of record, whenever they have a raid or other problem. Discipline and complaints from the old licenses is not visible in the public website.

[CougarHuntr]

I don't think they were keeping accurate records or they were making them up. Also I know they are licensed as well. Since they are in a busy strip mall, they could have been reported by the neighbors who were annoyed seeing numerous mongers coming and going at all time of the day and night, or heard noises through the walls. I can see them closing down permanentely not opening back up like what happened with the Tampa Korean Spas (Crystal, Orange, Yoshiko etc) a few years ago. The only number I know for Pine tree was listed on google which goes straight to the mamasan, but think about it, now where are all the mongers going to go who were frequenting Vinca and sunlight? Feel like only matter of time before they close down too.

I've been noticing on the news that the authorites have been having a field day with the spas in S. Fl lately.

Hopefully that's not what's happening here. 🤔.

[Gator1961]

Gator:

Thanks for the information. I've tried for two recently; close but no luck. Do you think it's an age thing? I'll be 70 soon.

LOL. I think every Monger on this board will give you the same answer and the answer is YES. I read about all these other Mongers, much younger than me obviously, looking for MSOG and I can only shake my head with envy. That's why Sugar was so amazing. Would have loved to see her again, but it looks like Sunlight is now closed.

Stay safe.

Gator.

I called there this morning and got some bogus message.

I'm wondering if they are getting warned ref records not being kept properly, or if it's an immigration action, although most immigration actions tend to be in your face high profile operations. It's very strange how they just suddenly close but no arrests.

Anybody got a phone number for a provider or mammasan who might quietly reach out and inquire?

It clearly looks like something is definitely in play, and nobody could be blamed for laying low until the situation is more clearly understood.

It will be very interesting to see if Pine Tree is next. Now would seem an opportune time for somebody to try to get a phone number for somebody at Pine Tree to reach out to for explanation if they suddenly close up too.

Pine tree has been doing this a long time. They are not going to let that happen. And they are Korean. Totally different operations from Chinese. I'm sure all that was written about the two closed shops didn't help the situation. Let's respect pine tree and keep the details in DMs. Pick a lesser known shop and start a good relationship with it. The business is changing. Soon the best places will be private residence providers.
