Cruisin' the News and this headline caught my eye to post.

"Three Waltham massage parlors closed due to regulations crackdown"

"Three massage parlors in Waltham have shut down temporarily, and six were fined recently for failing to comply with state and local regulations, as part of an operation by the city to clean up such operations.

Earlier this year, the Waltham Board of Health passed a new set of regulations attempting to close the legal loophole that allowed businesses operating under the description of “bodywork” to skirt state regulations concerning massage parlors."

Looks like regular massage parlors got shuttered for violation of new regulations about training and so on, nothing about happy versus unhappy endings

I really miss the old massage parlors. I'm old so many may not remember Richard's on 138 in Canton which was my ATF. You could get and do anything in that place. Then there was the Old English in Cambridge which was good place as well. They would have dozen smoking hotties on at a time, plus they 2 back rooms which were only known to frequent customers. Ahhh the old days......

Don't forget the old Newton Health Club  and Royal Sauna in Cambridge by Alewife, as well as Broadway Health in Cambridge. Bring back the old days!
