The ad in the weekly newspaper promises, “Attractive Girls, 18+.” The address, just west of Hooters at 302 Adelaide St. West, is a 19th-century brick home with a locked inner door, a doorbell and a video camera. A woman comes to the door and leads the way to a big airy room, inviting a visitor to sit on a massage table. A young woman of Asian descent comes in, dressed in a short red silk nightshirt, open at the top to reveal her cleavage.Downtown Toronto remains a fascinating place.
Asked what services the parlour offers, she says, “First you pay me $40 for half an hour.” The other woman chimes in, with a wink, “She will take care of you.”
On Thursday, the National Post visited seven massage and spa businesses, whose licences range from holistic centre to body rub parlour.
A few patterns emerge. Every place has a locked door and a peep hole or a video camera. In every case, a woman comes to the door in a suggestive dress and high heels. In every case, the woman does not ask for a customer’s name or do any paperwork, but merely invites the visitor to sit on a massage table and take off his clothes. All but one establishment insists on cash -in most cases, $40, though some charge $25 for half an hour.
One spot at 266 Adelaide St. W., Luna Spa, registered as a holistic centre, has a sign on the massage room wall saying, “No sexual services available.” The hostess asks a reporter to undress, saying, “I get girl for you.” A young woman appears in a black dress. “You take clothes off. We use hot wax and oil. Full body.” The offer is declined.

Adelaide Street
The two massage parlours on Adeliade Street are thought of together in vertually everyone's minds.
They are almost indistinguishable.
The spa next to fire station, now called Luna Spa, did open in 1999 about five years ahead of the one to west now named Sunrise Spa. It was opened as "Orintal Cat Eyes" by Shanko in the fall of 1999. The National Post wrote about them together in 2010:

Asian Massage in Toronto
How is addressing your body's unique concerns possible in asian massage? To answer this question, you need to understand how a holistic massage therapist does her work. Before an asian massage therapy gets you on her massage table, she asks you a few questions first regarding your diet, your medical concerns, and your lifestyle habits. She may also ask questions about your medical history as well as that of your immediate family.

Globe: Chinatown Blues
From the Globe:
Chinatown blues
Business is down and For Sale signs are popping up on a once-vibrant strip
SARAH ELTON
Special to The Globe and Mail
The front window of the former Chinese bakery is thick with dust. The cardboard of a For Sale sign droops in the same spot where, not long ago, fresh egg tarts were sold. The bakery is one of more than two dozen buildings that are either for sale, for lease or simply lying vacant in Chinatown East, the strip of Asian grocers, bakeries and restaurants around Broadview and Gerrard.
The area's long-time residents, a mix of Chinese and Vietnamese-Chinese Canadians who started to buy aging Victorians on the nearby side streets in the 1980s, are leaving for the suburbs. The generation who grew up here is coming of age and, instead of buying close to home, settling in places like Scarborough and Mississauga. Those who did own houses are selling their downtown properties to trade up for newer homes in the 'burbs with backyards and even parking. The few who remain are largely the elderly, and so the area is hollowing out as landlords try to cash out and shopkeepers take their businesses elsewhere.
"The neighbourhood is dying," says Alex Lien, whose family owns the Tung Hing Bakery chain. Mr. Lien opened the Broadview location 15 years ago, and in the past five years has watched business drop dramatically. In the past year alone, he has personally seen a 30-per-cent drop in profits. In a few months, Mr. Lien plans to assess whether his profits in Chinatown East are high enough to warrant staying put for another season. Across the street at the Rose Café, a take-away joint selling spring rolls and Vietnamese subs, it's the same story. The owner, Rose Thi Hoa Pham, has also noticed a 30-per-cent slump.
Judging by the crowds that flock to buy the low-priced fruit and vegetables displayed in crates along the sidewalks, you'd never guess that business is down. But Mr. Lien says the new people who are moving in are predominantly recent immigrants from mainland China who don't have a lot of money.
"People aren't willing to spend. You have to sell everything cheap," he says. "And yet the cost of living has gone up. It squeezes your profits." His baked goods sell on Broadview for a third less than they do in the company's other locations in Mississauga, North York and at Dundas and Spadina.
The newcomers from mainland China who are drawn to Broadview and Gerrard tend to be refugee claimants or people sponsored by family members and have come with very little, says Lillian Li, a settlement counsellor at the Riverdale Immigrant Women's Centre, who is from mainland China herself. She says that in China, these people tended to be peasants or labourers, largely uneducated, who toiled for meagre earnings. For them, Toronto is Golden Mountain, an opportunity to break free from poverty by saving their money to buy a house.
And so the prices are cheap anywhere you go in Chinatown East. A haircut is $6, a sandwich at the Rose Café is $1.50 and bubble tea will set you back a mere $2, as compared with more than $4 downtown.
Some of the local real estate is also a bargain. In the so-called Riverdale Village, a brown brick complex just north of Dundas where tiny townhouses were built cheek by jowl in the 1980s, you can pay as little as $190,000 a unit -- as opposed to upward of $400,000 for a renovated semi on nearby side streets.
But if one group is moving out, that doesn't mean Chinatown East is on the road to extinction, says James So, a real-estate broker who has run an office on Broadview since 1976. Rather than a decaying neighbourhood and suburban flight, he sees a neighbourhood in transition as the old crowd moves out.
While the newcomers arrive with little money, Mr. So says, they are extremely hard-working. He has found that, in very little time, they are able to save up enough money to buy a home in the area.
And anyone who has lived in Toronto for a while has seen how the waves of history shape the city and its Chinese areas. The city's first Chinatown near Bay and Dundas has all but disappeared, buried under City Hall (residents and shop owners were relocated in the early 1960s). What is now Chinatown downtown used to be a Jewish district; its vestiges remained on Spadina until the late 1980s in places like Switzer's Deli. And Markham's Pacific Mall, one of the largest Chinese malls in North America, was a farmer's field not that long ago.
As for the future of Chinatown East, Mr. So believes it is on the cusp of major change. The Toronto (Don) Jail that looms on the corner is scheduled to close and Bridgepoint Health, the rehab and long-term care facility, is expanding. Condominiums are planned, and the restaurant chain Spring Rolls is about to open up on Broadview.
"This area, in no time, will come up again," he says.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You've always read about me being optimistic about the future of Chinatown at Spadina and Dundas. I'm not as optimistic about Chinatown East though. In terms of location Spadina/Dundas is much better than Chinatown East... it's closer to downtown, closer to Ryerson and U of T, Cityplace is just down the street, and an LRT line runs right through it, so it attracts more locals (Chinese and non-Chinese) and tourists. The same cannot be said about Chinatown East. Chinatown East is a community hub for the Chinese in Riverdale and East York, but despite having Toronto's only statue of Sun Yat-Sen (founder of the Republic of China), and is about to beat Spadina/Dundas to building the only Chinatown gate in the City of Toronto (not talking about Mississauga, which already has one), there is nothing for tourists or people outside the community to see and do in Chinatown East. Chinatown East won't die, but I don't think it can compete with Spadina/Dundas, with or without Spring Rolls.
----------------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure either of the Chinatowns will survive as functioning chinese communities. Chinatown will remain chinatown in name but I just don't feel much support or interest for the areas within the chinese community. My relatives on the chinese side have long since lost any interest in chinatown and have become fiercely suburban in an anti-urban orthodox way. They literally take pride in avoiding chinatown and celebrate its decline as proof of their wisdom to escape to the suburbs . The older generation who value urban living is dying out and the new generation who's parents traded-up to the "wealthy" suburbs frankly in reality lack the economic means to return to the area as propertied stake-holders. New immigrants turn their nose up at chinatown now and see gold mountain in the megamalls and McMansions of the suburbs as soon as they step off the plane because that is frankly the experience of wealthy chinese back home now. The new China lives by the mantra old is bad new is good. I don't doubt that current chinatown neighbourhoods will become re-invigorated in the future but it is doubtful they will do so as chinese neighbourhoods.
-------------------------------------------
My neighbourhood. Several of he properties on Gerrard have been deliberately neglected for many years and are increasingly slummy. Beggars ( including several Chinese, which really shocks me ) are common there now; we even had a resident ho last summer for a few weeks.
But it has always been a bit disreputable. Jun Jun restaurant ( closed 1999 ) was a smoky hangout for criminals and was raided by the cops late one winter night - with the customers made to line up outside in the snow. I miss that place, though not the smoke. There were shootings, too, at the "massage parlour" on the north side near Howland, which subsequently closed.
But Bill's Lobster is still there, and the bakeries, and the grocery stores, and the supermarket, and the restaurants - including the big East Grand that opens for dim sum at 8 a.m. during the week, and Hanoi 3 Seasons where the queens go, and Batifole the French place, and a vegetarian restaurant. So all is not lost.

In the last year (2010), massage massage parlours have opned in Old Chinatown.
None is particularly good.
