Just wondering if anyone here has checked out the CL add on January 13th. Blonde looking for some fun... killer photo. It just gives an MSN address, but doesn't specify if she's an SP. Anyone care to TOFTT??

I've spoken to an agency owner in Toronto to see if he would send some ladies on tour to the east coast. Unfortunately, from what he told me, the economics did not work in his favour. So, for the time being it may be more feasible to entice independents to our area. It's a shame though, Jenn at Select Company Escorts was/is one of my all time favorites... what a knock out!

Thanks for the recommendation.

Offhand, I can only think of a couple of the girls at Halifax Hotties, Amber Wyld and a few ladies who I've since lost touch with. There may be others as well, but at this point I'm not aware of any.

I asked some of the ladies about that when I saw them. They told me that they never had any problems with intoxicated clients coming in since they were checked at the door. I'm assuming the driver also doubled as a bouncer/security on site.I've only ever had outcalls, so I can only speak for myself; I live in an upscale area of downtown Halifax, and always make a sincere effort to ensure the lady I'm seeing feels at home / comfortable. It's the least I can do.

Just as an aside, the only time I've ever felt comfortable using a credit card to hobby was when dealing with a well respected outcall agency in Toronto. It was a convenience factor for me, and I never had any problems whatsoever.

I seem to recall there was also a GMC incall over top of Excitement video on Quinpool Road at one point.

Must have been before my time.

Christina is a great girl... I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun together.

I told two people: My best friend, who was more curious about the hobbying scene than anything else. He kept asking me all kinds of questions and was practically drooling all over himself when I told him about all the hotties I have sex with on a regular basis. The second person I told was an LF of mine. Big mistake... she kept going on and on about it, and not in a good way. She eventually got over the initial shock, though we never spoke of it again! *lol*

What makes it a bitter pill to swallow is the fact that generally speaking, agencies such as Park Avenue were allowed to operate with relative impunity unless a formal complaint was lodged, which is what happened in this particular instance. LE basically turned a blind eye for the past 19 years since they were operating under the radar - out of sight. out of mind - or no complaints = no problems as police would rather employ their limited resources elsewhere. However, when someone goes to the RCMP and starts talking, they have no choice but to investigate. I suppose the agency could have continued to operate, like GMC did after numerous busts, but I think it was just the final nail in the coffin, so to speak. Pat had been entertaining the idea of closing down even before all this transpired. It was just time, unfortunately.

It may have been that all the lines were busy at the time, which sometimes happened. Park Avenue was in full operation during September/ October 2007, but officially closed mid May 2008.

You're right... very good points. I was simply thinking about the overall cost of living in a place such as Toronto vs. Halifax. For instance, since Toronto is a more expensive city to live in, then by occupation - wages are generally higher there than they are in Halifax. Therefore, someone paying $250.00 per hour in Toronto may not feel the pinch as much as someone paying $250.00 per hour in Halifax.

Sorry Emma... you're right, I should have clarified. I was referring to non-gfe service. That way, it's more of a tiered system, ranging from Non GFE, to GFE, to PSE, with the rate increasing at each juncture, as more services are added on.

I'll have to agree... they seem to be Toronto level rates. Of course, the ladies are free to charge what they want, and Olivia, Chloe and Morgan provide fantastic service. My only suggestion would be, instead of only offering GFE and PSE, why not also offer a "standard" level of service at a slightly lower rate?? That way, we hobbyists have more flexibility and more choice. That said, I know SPs with price points clear across the spectrum, but the level of service I choose, and the corresponding price I pay is always determined by my financial situation at the time. Flexible prices could translate into increased business in the long term. Just a thought...

Halifax Hotties was formerly known as Halifax Hot Models. Olivia is also a member of CERB. I haven't seen either of the two new ladies on their website, though.

Really?? *lol*

Oddly enough, in all the years I was a client of Park Avenue, not once did I ever visit the establishment itself - I always opted for outcall. However, I wish now that I would have gone to see it for myself, just for the hell of it. I've heard stories from some of the girls that worked there about the ambience lol! Still, it would have been nice to meet Pat in person and put a face to the name.

They were located in downtown Dartmouth. As for the girls that worked there, most have disappeared. I keep hoping that a few of them may someday decide to go the independent route and sign up here...they were hot!

The only one I can think of is "Tess", who used to work at Park Avenue from October 2006 to roughly the end of 2007. She was a beautiful latina. Sadly, I've lost contact with her. If she is still working in the industry, and someone knows how to get in touch with her, please post! Thanks.

One more thing, given the circumstances involved, I wonder if Pat / David would ever consider re-opening Park Avenue as "outcall only", or starting fresh with a new agency?

I posted a thread similar to this awhile back...I think the owner of Gentleman's Club finally had enough; he got out of the business and sold the building to a property development company. Hard to believe... after 30 years, I thought it would be around forever. Kudos to him for fighting back and staying in business for as long as he did. Park Avenue was the crown jewel of the metro Halifax/Dartmouth escort scene. I've known Pat for many years and was a loyal patron of her establishment. If anyone knew how to run a business, it was her - professional in every way. She was the best, and the agency's closure was a loss to many. I've been made aware of the specific circumstances leading to her closing up shop, and they're not very pleasant. In fact, I feel bad for Pat - it wasn't her fault. I made a point of telling her how much her efforts meant, and thanked her from the bottom of my heart. I'm glad she's decided to stand her ground and fight. Moreover, it's a shame that brothels are not allowed to operate legally in metro, all due to an antiquated law re: common bawdy houses. IMO, it should be stricken from the books. Brothels are functional in so many ways - they provide a safe location for ladies to work and provide an outlet for men who for whatever reason gravitate toward incalls, all at a reasonable price. Let's face it, the industry will never be eradicated, so why not decriminalize it?? Now, independents aside - where are we hobbyists ever going to find an agency that will replace Park Avenue in terms of overall professionalism, quality of ladies and quality of service?? If you know of any, please let me know. Hopefully some entrepreneur out there will take it upon themselves to start a quality agency that metro Halifax can be proud of, even if it's outcall only, to avoid legal ramifications.

I'm single as well. My occupation keeps me very busy, and I work constantly. Last year I actually had to turn down two potential relationships since I just didn't have the time for them. Moreover, I enjoy the variety I get with seeing escorts, and it's not something that I'm readily willing to give up. Of course, I realize it's just fantasy, but it's a damn good one! *lol* I don't know if I really want to be in an LTR... I think I'd start to feel trapped after awhile. Then what? resort to cheating on my SO? I don't know if I could do that... Also, seeing escorts is a great way to avoid getting hurt emotionally. No headgames, no dealing with acrimonious break-ups etc.. Just a lot less of a headache in general.8-)

Just wanted to wish everyone a joyous and peaceful holiday season, spent with friends, family and loved ones. All the best!

Is she still around??
