It is clear from the above comments that the criminal activity is
prostitution, not massage, laundry washing, sauna usage, or health
club usage. Yet, from reading certain headlines, a person might get
the idea that the criminal activity is massage, at least with regards
to the raid on the NE Minneapolis parlour last December. I find this
especially troubling because there is a massage clinic, run by the
Minneapolis School of Massage and Bodyworks, located on Lowry Ave in
NE Minneapolis. Will they suffer as a result of the continued
association of massage with sex and prostitution? I hope not, but fear
so.
