Drove by this place

[jjc018]

I find it hilarious that every review starts off with "I was driving by this place .... and thought what the heck I mind as well try it out". No way in hell are people just meandering throughout the city doing errands and gooo ahhhhh shit thats the ..... spa why don't I give it a whirl. The little things crack me up on this board.

"In the area", "passing by", etc. are all relative. Some people consider going a few miles off their trek as "nearby". When I visit new areas, I'll sometimes plan my route to "Drive by" different facilities. Sometimes we're not telling the entire story, after all who wants to read a three paragraph diatribe of how I managed to be near a particular spa. Sometimes the story is absolutely true and complete. I recently visited (and reviewed) an amp that I literally have passed hundreds of times over several years and not visited. It does happen.
For the record - not every review starts that way. I may have said something similar only a couple times in my 42 reviews so far on this site.

actually I went to a few that I saw from just driving by in case it's a hidden gem. I'm 0 for 5

That is exactly how I discovered EG309 and years earlier the smiley face further north and Tropical in Hellertown. Unfortunately I never stopped at Fuji in Coopersburg.

Ive hit a few just "driving around"...but there was no accident. i was seeking spa signs and found them. lol.
mostly when out of town or no tin my comfort zone.
AND ...I love the unknow thrill of whether or not they are a r&t... although its pretty obvious. Some play hard to get if youre not a regular.
