Detroit Massage Parlors: Belleville seeks to limit medical marijuana dispensary businesses
August 3, 2010 at 4:00 pm | In Detroit massage parlors | No Comments… You can also go the licensing route and require that the owner be registered. With that you could regulate hours of operation and other aspects. It would fall into the same category as tattoos, massage parlors and other adult-oriented businesses.”
Day suggested adopting a zoning amendment that would limit the establishment of medical marijuana businesses to industrial areas within the city.
Some communities, such as Canton Township and Royal Oak, have taken the banning approach by arguing they can’t support a business that isn’t germane to federal law. While other communities, like the city of Ypsilanti, have gone the zoning route and adopted regulations concerning all medical marijuana related businesses.
Resident Mike Renaud strongly advised Council to consider taking that step as he chastised the city for wanting to be the “vanguard” for medical pot regulation.

“If we hit them, we have to hit everybody like tattoo parlors and massage parlors,” Tindall said.
Detroit Massage Parlors: Dispatches From the Upfronts
May 19, 2010 at 6:48 pm | In Detroit massage parlors | No Comments… Happy Endings. A show should be called Happy Endings only if it’s a reality show set in a massage parlor. Even then, America’s Toughest Hand Jobs would be a superior appellation, I think you’ll agree. What we have here is “a really fresh look at a relationship show” about a sundered perfect couple wrangling for custody of their friends.
Detroit Massage Parlors: ABC Picks Up Three Comedies, Three Dramas
May 14, 2010 at 5:00 pm | In Detroit massage parlors | No CommentsABC has announced a number of pick-ups for its 2010-2011 season.
On the comedy front, ABC has ordered three comedies into production. The first is Happy Endings, oddly, not about a massage parlor, but rather starring Elisha Cuthbert (24) as a bride who leaves her fiance at the altar. Second, is Better Together, starring Joanna Garcia (Privileged, Gossip Girl). It centers on two sisters at different places in their respecitve relationships. Lastly, and the one I am most excited about, is Mr. Sunshine. This stars Matthew Perry (Friends) as the manager of an ice hockey rink who realizes that he’s getting too old to continue his womanizing ways. Mr. Sunshine also stars Allison Janney (The West Wing) and James Lesure (Las Vegas).
ABC also picked up three dramas today.

In the past, massage parlors have served as fronts for prostitution operations, and a number of such businesses have been raided and shut down in Norwalk.

Detroit Massage Parlors: 3 Valpo massage therapists set to lose licenses
March 2, 2010 at 4:24 am | In Detroit massage parlors | No CommentsThe attorney general’s office sought revocation of the three massage therapy licenses registered and posted on the wall at the Oriental Pain Management Center, 823 Lincolnway. The facility was the site of an undercover raid in January by Valparaiso police and the Porter County Drug Task Force.
On three occasions, undercover officers received $40 massages and for $40 more staff offered to fondle the officers. As part of their investigation, the officers accepted the additional services but left before the act was completed, said Valparaiso Detective Philip Rochon.
As a result of the police investigations, Wenjuan Yao, 44, was charged with prostitution, and Min Ye, 46, was charged with aiding in prostitution. Both women face a year in jail if convicted of the misdemeanor charges.
Deputy Attorney General Amanda Bailor told the massage therapy board that the massage parlor was “designed to make it appear to the public legitimate massage therapy services are being provided.” But, Bailor said, “the primary business of Oriental Pain Management Center is prostitution offered under the guise of massage therapy.”

Detroit Massage Parlors: In Vancouver, enjoyment is an Olympic event
February 12, 2010 at 9:36 pm | In Detroit massage parlors | No CommentsIn the last two decades Richmond has become Vancouver’s new Chinatown, home to the second-biggest Asian community in North America; Asian Canadians now make up about 60% of Richmond’s population.
Stepping into one of Richmond’s shopping malls is a quick trip to the contemporary Orient. Yaohan Centre has a giant pan-Asian supermarket, and Aberdeen Centre is classic, over-the-top Hong Kong, right down to a showy multimedia water-fountain production in the foyer.
There are Sikh temples, the biggest Buddhist temple in North America, Chinese foot massage parlors and herb shops, but I go to Richmond to eat, especially at the Richmond Night Market, open weekends throughout the summer. You can smell the spicy lamb kebabs and sautéed noodles long before you reach the maze of 300 stalls lighted by strings of lights and hazed in plumes of smoke from grilled squid and prawns.
Detroit Massage Parlors: Ex-candidate Mohamed Chams seeks Windsor ward 2 seat
February 12, 2010 at 1:12 am | In Detroit massage parlors | No Comments… That’s what led me to Ward 2,” said Chams, a South Windsor resident. “I picked the area that I felt would be the most challenging…. That’s where the work really needs to be done.”
Chams said his plan is to propose a bylaw that would force property owners to either demolish or improve vacant homes.
Chams also isn’t shy about criticizing the city’s current administration. An equation on his website reads: “Bad administrative decisions = unnecessary legal fees = unnecessary property tax increases.”
In March 2008, Chams was involved in a dispute with Windsor police over a property he owned on Goyeau Street that was leased to a massage parlour.
But Chams said he’s not worried about past controversies tainting his chances at the Ward 2 councillor seat.
“I’ve been fighting to reduce the number of (massage parlour) licences,” he said.
Detroit Massage Parlors: More airport security won’t do much to stop terrorists. Leaving the Middle …
January 29, 2010 at 5:48 pm | In Detroit massage parlors | No CommentsConsider the evidence from existing policies toward drugs, prostitution, and immigration. In each case, policy tries to ban or limit the activity, hoping to raise the costs of supplying it. Meanwhile, minimal effort is exerted to reduce the demand for intoxication, sex, and a higher income.
The net result is that drugs and prostitution are widely available and the US is home to at least 9 million illegal immigrants. Sure, existing laws may reduce these activities somewhat, but the net impact appears to be minor.
Why?
Desire often trumps law. And it’s just too easy to get around the law. Illegal drugs and immigrants can enter the country along lengthy borders and via sea, air, or land routes. Purveyors of prostitution services have endless means for avoiding even the most robust enforcement effort, from massage parlors to escort services to Internet sex.

Detroit Massage Parlors: Warren Beatty memoir puts Tiger Woods philandering ‘in bush-league’
January 5, 2010 at 2:12 am | In Detroit massage parlors | No CommentsNew York – (Small Potatoes): A new biography of screen legend Warren Beatty sets the benchmark for celeb shagging at ‘around 13,000,’ easily eclipsing current top US lothario Tiger Woods.
According to the memoir the 72 year-old movie actor, director and procducer’s lifetime achievement figures are based on a conservative estimate of ‘roughly four women a week.’
“More like four rough women a week!” an LA FagHagSlagMag book review commented today following a survey of possible also-rans, hand-jobs, massage parlor trysts, drive-bys and vanity-shags.
By comparison golf champ Tiger Woods’ alleged tally of 18 mistresses in the last six years represents ‘a drop in the bucket’ – albeit a promising start to a potentially high-flying philandering career.
Officially Beatty’s tally includes – in no particular order – Madonna, Jane Fonda, Isabelle Adjani, Diane Keaton, Joan Collins, Julie Christie and current wife Annette Bening.
