Just moved into this place in Center City (Chinatown to be more specific) and I always wondered why the front of my place looked like this:
(Thanks to google street view)
If you notice to the left behind the tree there is a big blue door with the house number in yellow and as if that wasn't enough to identify there is also the street address on the front of the building with an arrow pointing to said big blue door.
So apparently that means I live above an asian massage parlor. The clear labeling making it easier for the drunks and the other dregs of society to find things easier. Judging by the men who accidentally rang my bell (My door is the white door on the right a separate entrance thank heavens) I would believe that this is illegitimate massage parlor at that.
So then when I googled the address IN QUOTES (which I didn't do before oops) I found this review on USASex Guide:
One can't miss this place, well lit, large street numbers and a sign next door pointing to the correct door. Was met by a tall slender lady who I though was 'next available.' As it turns out she showed me to a room, brought me a drink, then returned with a slection of ladies. Including her there were 4 to choose from. The first couple were so soft spoken that I did not catch their names.
It goes on from there to describe all sorts of stuff.
Very Very classy.
I love my place though besides that..
