Those of you with long memories will remember the AMP at Pear Orchard and Country Line, on the Jackson side. Too visible, too many nosy women working nearby. Open up in an industrial area, and everyone will leave you alone.

Definitely not a good spot for such a place. It was called Hot Stone, and I think the sign is still there. No other business ever moved into that spot. I think the shopping center where it was located is called Pear Orchard Village (where Margaritas is).
I think all of the AMPs in Jxn area are closed now (Chinese, Oriental, and Lake Harbour), and so are several of the non-Asian studios. Several studios have been busted, but I think the AMPs may have been shut down by the state massage board (or at least started having some problems with them).
There are still at least a couple of studios open. Studio 1 & 2 seem to be doing ok. I’ve been to both a few times but stopped going to any of those places after the first bust. Apparently there’s also a new one called Spa Therapy that was recently started by a couple of the former Health Studio girls, but I haven’t been there.
I liked the Asian places because I could always count on a good massage with little-to-no draping. Could usually get a HE, too. Couldn’t always count on the HE, but that was part of the excitement for me. It wasn’t a sure thing and not knowing made it kind of an adventure of sorts. That was just icing on the cake anyway, though. I really enjoyed their style of massage. If nothing else, it was a great tease, very relaxing, and simply something different.
Would certainly be a good time for someone to open up a new AMP. Hope that happens soon. I miss those massages (with the potential for a little something extra). I agree that if they put it in an industrial area (or at least off the beaten path), they probably wouldn’t have any problems.
