I see the Linden thread was closed...as the last post was not an explanation of why, I don't know if it's because the topic is verboten or because the thread was so long.
Anyhow, in my investigations of Linden I have learned some things. But one of those things is that it closes at 7 PM. I was told it is open on Saturdays though. This place is like Fort Knox, so I am just using it as an example and move on to the next thing.
I saw an ad on CL about Flushing Latinas and learned that a Dolly runs it. It also is open until 7PM. I called on a Saturday and was told it was not open, so I assume it is just Monday to Friday. They are not good at picking up the phone, even during the week, although they advertise in the Voice and on CL.
Now my question is twofold -
1) Who is patronizing these places during the week? I work in the city during the week, until 5PM and often past, then I have to commute home. I am lucky if I arrive at these places at 7PM. I have not been to Dolly's yet - the few times I have not stayed late at the office, they don't pick up the phone on my way to Queens. Doesn't this make sense? Don't most guys who can afford these places work until or past 5PM, then you have to factor in the commute from the city? The only time I would be able to get in is taking a day off during the week. Not like it's the end of the world, but it doesn't make sense, which leads me to
2) Why do they do it? I have two theories. One is the girls only want to work 11AM to 7PM. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me though, as if they pushed it to just 8PM or 9PM, they could probably get a lot more business and I'm sure they could find girls who would work a little later. My other theory is the one I am guessing is correct. If there was a lot of traffic to these places from 7PM until midnight, 1AM etc., it would attract attention from LE, or perhaps complaints from neighbors to LE. So that is why I guess they do this. Although at least Linden is open Saturdays, I called Dollys on a Saturday and they were not open.
Anyhow, this is less about these places in particular and more about the why close at 7PM question, theories about that and so forth.
