Similar to DH, this place is over-hyped. I am seeing places that would be considered run of the mill, mediocre, dime o dozen, garden variety in 2010 now be praised as the promised holy land.
Any monger that only speaks highly of one place is not a true discerning Senior monger. And by the laws of supply and demand and human nature, there is no way one single place provides good consistent quality and service indefinitely unless adequate competitive pressures are present in the market.
What we are dealing with here gentlemen is a deflationary situation where demand has dropped along with supply and it's a race to the bottom. A combination of higher wages for Women in mainstream employment, a tougher regulatory environment and the ability also for Women to make money off the internet by broadcasting themselves gaming and appealing to reclusive Men's fetishes has led us to this pitiful dilapidated state of affairs of the hobby.
Yes there are new places popping up but they are just spontaneous embers that don't last long. I am not sure what lies ahead but the world's oldest profession is not doing well in the US of A.
