I travel to your beautiful city once or twice a year and I've just noticed something strange. It seems there's been a huge turnover of providers in the last year or so.  Many, many familiar names are gone, and it seems to have happened all at once.  It also seems that sf lovings and the redbook just aren't what they used to be.  Can you recommend the best websites these days -- eros? cityvibe?  What do you say?

The best provider info is ALWAYS on TER.  There's no way to tell from an ad in Eros, CityVibe, or other site whether you're going to get what you hoped for.  The only way is to research here on TER, and pick a sure thing.  I've never been disappointed when I've done my homework.

Regarding the turnover, I haven't noticed it, as I've locked in on a few exceptional providers and tend to be pretty loyal.
