Paradise lost

[PartTime]

Paradise on Jones rd @ Greencreek is gone. Sign and everything. Don't know if it was shut down or voluntary, but service was not that good anyway...

Wow, bunch of places are going away, I lost a couple of my go 2 places .... I'd wonder if this is also happening in Dallas...makes me wonder if they are going to legalize it

Not much demand for these AMPS after the oil business slowed down. I noticed that some of these AMPs are now asking for 200 for FS after business has slowed down. Stick with ATFs.

That's the California Business Model.

Less income = charge more for those who do enter the door.

Aside from tying "spas" to "oil" ... the "oil business" is not "slowing down" ... in Texas.

There's a shift that will adjust as 2019 moves forward. Forbes article disagrees with you, also.

The unwanted administrative and ICE attention, with local cooperation, is affecting the business.

IMO as soon as the target rich environment of the spas evaporates the more challenging effort to address "agencies" and "indies" will begin. I suggest all save their ATFs contact info and even try to get "back channels" from them to communicate after they burn their advertised numbers. Then BE QUIET. You might even consider a new number yourself.

It's been a slowly changing environment for a long time. It was in the mid 80s when I first discovered modeling studios. Then for a while there were tanning salons. Massage studios, and now the foot massage and rub n tug. If I remember correctly, back in the day FS was $80. Then jumped to 120, then 160, now pushing 200. Some say there is a consortium of mamasans that control the price. This business will continue to shift, but it will not go away. It is the oldest profession after all...

Depends on how far ack "the day" was.....and where. I used to pay 10 cents a gallon for gas during a "gas war" .... down from the customary 19 cents ... but my Mercury interceptor with a 3/4 cam only got about 5 mph on the leaded we got back then..

19 cents was "a lot"! You know ... "back in the day"!

$25 for a nice 1 hour with a gorgeous young thing = 125 gallons or about $300 today.

As Trump says, fake news. Give the article to all the men and women who have been laid off by the oil business or have had their hours and salaries slashed. The oil business was in a bubble and it finally burst for the good. The less important or useful personnel were let go.

Mostly it's the change in the cost of living. Plus, the girls are trying to hustle. Most are crap in this city so choose wisely.

this, but most amptards and spatards haven't figured it out yet. they won't give a shit until their playground has dried up. they still won't have figured it out. they'll just say, "what happened?"

I know you meant to type 5 mpg, but it sounded funny about your interceptor and its 3/4 cam only managing 5 mph. Thanks for the chuckle.

If the service was as good as it is in Dallas than 200 would not be unreasonable. Dallas is now going to 220 for their pricing at many anps
