Los Angeles Massage Parlors: Massage Parlor Ordinance A Work In Progress
Massage parlors are often lumped into a seemingly nefarious category of businesses, mostly due to the fact that over the years several of them have been found to provide certain sexual services in addition to their massages.
…
“There are two different ordinances that are in the City Code,” he said. “There is an ‘adult business’ ordinance which would classify a massage parlor as that which has sexual activity. That is obviously not what the City wants or condones within it. That’s why we have no massage parlors that are licensed as an ‘adult business’ in Santa Clarita.”
…
Therefore in the case of massage parlors, the County actually works as an agent of the City by issuing the business licenses, Sgt. Rotella says.
…
Since any action won’t change the fact that prostitution is illegal, the biggest effect of new municipal code language would likely be the prevention of ill-intentioned massage parlors from opening. By further tightening the restrictions and licensing requirements for mas …

Los Angeles Massage Parlors: Chinese American candidates eye Arcadia council seats
… I think it’s an added benefit that I’m an Asian American,” Cheng said. “I think it is important that there are people on council that can bridge different communities together.”
Tay moved to Arcadia in 1984, when few Asians lived in the city.
“Now it’s changed,” he said. “I have the ability to communicate to them because I speak the language. I know a lot of new immigrants here, and they don’t understand the culture in Arcadia.”
Both Lee and Cheng have received support from Chinese-American council members in area cities such as San Gabriel, Alhambra, Temple City, Monterey Park and Walnut. Higher-profile Asian-American politicians, including Rep. Judy Chu, D-El Monte, and State Controller John Chiang, appeared at a fundraiser for Cheng.
Cheng emphasized he wasn’t “running an Asian campaign,” but added there were issues, such as the city’s struggle to regulate the spread of Asian massage parlors, that he is better equipped to handle.

“You walk in and there are different offices for medical [operations], so they are not supposed to be doing massages or anything like that whatsoever, so it’s just a front.”If the business owners don’t secure a conditional-use permit allowing for massage operations within 72 hours, it will be permanently shut down, said Rene Sada, city code enforcement officer.In the meantime, the business is allowed to operate, officials said. Police have been arresting women on suspicion of soliciting prostitution at the site since 2001.The same East Colorado Street location, which was then named K&P Health Care Corporation and run by different operators than CHS Health Care Inc., came under fire in November 2008.The chiropractic business was one of several locations that police had focused on during a yearlong investigation into allegations that some workers weren’t licensed to perform massages, while others were engaging in prostitution.At that time, business operators tried to expand their conditional-use permit to allow walk-in massage clients without physician referrals.But its history of prostit …

Los Angeles Massage Parlors: Washington State’s Rink of Olympic Dreams
… It’s nice and warm in here,” Mike Pattison, the family patriarch, told the students. “But this is where Apolo and J. R. learned how to skate.”
The Pattisons traveled to Vancouver to watch the two Olympians they helped produce. They paid $1,200 for four tickets and sat in the front row, the best seats in the house. They watched Ohno win his sixth Winter Olympic medal, the most for an American man, and saw Celski secure his first.
At that moment, the memories flooded back. Like a teenage Ohno break-dancing between skating sessions, performing his patented windmill. Or Celski rolling past adults at age 3, his skates and body nearly equal in size.
“Everything started there,” said Yuki Ohno, Apolo’s father. “That was the beginning.”
Pattison’s West sits on the Pacific Highway near a massage parlor, a storage facility and a chiropractor. The sign out front advertised this week’s adult R&B night.

Los Angeles Massage Parlors: In Vancouver, enjoyment is an Olympic event
In 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.

Los Angeles Massage Parlors: Walnut Creek’s CEQA Challenge to Proposed New Stadium
The long and short of it is that the City of Walnut settled its case, gaining traffic mitigation measures, noise limitations, a no-fly zone over the stadium for advertising aircraft, a fire station site, ongoing working and advisory groups to deal with traffic and public safety issues, a community fund for the City of Walnut, and ongoing monitoring of the mitigation measures.
At my urging the City of Industry adopted additional measures aimed at meeting several of the objections of the citizens group, after the group came to an impasse with the developer. They included bars on strip clubs and massage parlors as part of the project, the use of drought tolerant plants and recycled water to irrigate planted areas, and efforts to maximize access to and from the projects from the adjoining 57 and 60 freeway, and to try to restrict traffic north on Grand Ave. through Walnut.

Los Angeles Massage Parlors: US official offers aid to Haitians in LA
… We invited ourselves here to see if there is anything we can do to provide assistance,” Arellano said. “It is beyond anybody’s control what happened.”
U.S. officials expect as many as 200,000 Haitians to be eligible for temporary protected status, most of them in Miami and New York. The Haitian community in Los Angeles numbers about 4,000, according to Guillaume, who came to Los Angeles from Haiti via Canada to start his church a decade ago.
The church, situated near auto repair shops, a beauty salon and a massage parlor near West Adams Boulevard and La Brea Avenue, features the flags of Haiti and the United States. In a trilingual service of English, French and Haitian Creole, congregants shook tambourines and sang songs punctuated with upbeat Caribbean rhythms one moment, then fell to their knees in silent prayer another.
