Did a good amount of recon today. Even though some of these spots are known to be gone, it's good to periodically check on them now and then, as one spot had been recently reviewed as being closed, namingly.
M. St Third floor. Open. Hit the buzzer, was surprised they opened up. Was greeted by a woman who looked like she just woke up out of bed. Went to the room, and was told she was the only one working, and that "she would take care of me". Hhmmm let me think about that for a second. She was in her 40's. Her looks out of 10 were about a 4 at best. I'll pass! I just spent $$$ about a week earlier on another well worth, but costly GFE in VA. I wasn't willing to part with anything in my wallet unless the girl was an 8 or higher. Told her I'd be back.
Vermont Therapy- closed. Not sure if it's just closed on Sundays or if it's shut down. Front door was locked, so I couldn't even access the staircase.
1413- closed. A tattoo shop had it's sign up there, but even that said they themselves had moved. Probably been that way for a while.
I. St Bar. Closed. Whole building looks condemned.
1333/Starbucks block. Travelled up the 4 flights, hit buzzer, and was pleasantly surprised that they opened up. This spot has always been my atf. Mamasan peeked out the door and said they were closed today, but that they'd be back open tomorrow. Not sure if she was just trying to get rid of me, or if in fact they were just closed that day. The sign next to the door said 'Grand Opening'. Not sure how long that's been there. It's been a while. Can anyone confirm whether that's new or not. Maybe sunny days are on the horizon again.?
Sun. Got excited as I saw an 'open' sign outside their door. But alas upon closer inspection, it looked like it was for the restaurant beside it. Heavy police presence across the street, deterred me from even ringing the buzzer.
