Knead A Massage?

Over the last year or so I have noticed a preponderance of massage parlors popping up in the Wollaston Center area.  Either "Wolly" women are well pampered and ache-free or we have market saturation or perhaps something else.  I have had my "spies" looking into this and the interesting thing is that we hardly ever see anyone frequenting many of these massage establishments which leads me to think that there isn't a need for 8 of them.   Wouldn't you think that if there wasn't a customer base then the business would close after a time?

Massage anyone?

Massage parlors seem to be springing up around town. This neon sign was taken in the window of a new massage parlor on Newport Avenue near the Wollaston Train station. It could be a handy location for all those commuters who had to stand up for their trip home from Boston . . . see "SRO" post here.

5 Alarms!

Today, firefighters from Quincy and many surrounding towns help to fight a 5-alarm fire on Newport Ave., across from the Wollaston train station.  I have posted pictures from this location in the past.  One building that is history now is the former "Odd Fellows Lodge" which you can see HERE.  Below the Odd Fellow Lodge was the Kimarie Massage Salon which you can see HERE,  Hopefully the lucky dragon dance, HERE, helped these businesses survive the conflagration.
