Community attitude in Rich mond

[Newbie555]

I recently visited my long-ago favorite AMP in Richmond, just to the east of No 3 around the middle of town. Big obvious place in a strip mall, where I parked my car at 11am not-thinking that it might be too early. Been there many times over many years, although several months between visits.

This time I get looks as I walk over to the door. White soccer mom's (I guess from the beauty parlor in the strip mall??) glance at me, at the AMP, at me, and then disapproving looks. WTF? It was closed, so I left.

I came back at 1 and it was open, but I got the same kind of tingling from my spidy senses in the parking lot.. Muggles! It didn't stop me from enjoying myself with CC in Room #8, mind you, but I now wonder...

Is there an attitude change in Richmond these days? Or maybe I just never noticed it before?

You got guts, or you have absolutely no shame!!! There's only a few places one can go to in the daytime w/o at least looking over your shoulders: incalls at agencies or indy sp and I always go thru the backdoor at Bex & BBC. I just don't need to run into a friend, collegue or family member while 'hobbying'. All power to you bro if this never crossed your mind.

I didn't know about the back door, thx. But then again, I never cared mu ch about people's attitudes.

I guess I just never noticed before.

Kingdom has a back?? Been there about 4 times, seen Vivian and Rachael only. I prefer Swan cause of the bang for the buck thing.

Those who wish to visit this amp whether from the front or the back, please wait another 60 days from today before going. It has been ordered by the licence board to suspend business for 60 days for licence violation.

What is it with Richmond and the harassment of amps for petty violations?

I happened to be in one of the city council meeting last week and the KINGDOM massage is in trouble with city of Richmond. The place will face a two months closure and they are appealing it. I haven't been to Kingdom for long time as Swan is better value and choice for me.

 

[tweedle_d_clown]

you see? It pays to ask the question.

Thanks for the heads-up. Maybe that soccer mom was in on the council meetings.. she had such a look of disgust on her face.

"I had no idea that place was allegedly breaking codes... I was just looking for some massage therapy."

What exactly is meant by "license violations"?

 

[kaiserthegreat]

Well "exactly" is hard or difficult to define/explain by the lawyer or LE IMHO. Different LEs. take different attitude or measures while they are carrying out their duties IMO. So, there are always many different ways to interpret the licence conditions.

As it was said that the case is under appeal, let the appeal board to interpret whether there is any license violations.

Staying open past midnight is one 'violation' that has been used against Richmond amps in the past. Having the doors locked is another one. This whole 'moral minority' persecution bullshit just annoys me. There are better ways to spend tax dollars.

Damn, reading that makes the cops sure sound like perverted sickos. 'Rushing in to catch people in the sex act'. I realize it's not their fault, it is orders from above, but come on, this is Canada, not East Germany before the Berlin wall fell.

Meanwhile car thefts and property offences continue to go unpunished and uninvestigated.

No kidding. I spoke to a bike patrol who was writing up a series of window smashes at a parking garage, and he said he chased the guy away from the garage 3 times earlier that day, so he knows who he is.

So what good is that? Why chase him away 3 times, and if you do, why turn your back on him sohe can smash and grab the forth time?

Much more fun to rush an AMP door and see what you can see.
