Never heard of them. I do know of one place on Madrona and Torrance but I doubt it's an EMP. The Daily Breeze had some great local reaction over this issue, mostly how it makes the city counsel appear anti-business and way too heavy handed.
My real grip is the fact the city claims to have no money for teachers, cops, and firemen yet wants to splurge on pointless vice projects. EMP or not, those massage parlors are paying the rent and taxes. With so many empty spaces open for lease in the area it's insane to attack the massage parlors. Torrance is just lucky that the industries that call the city home are sticking around and the residents haven't protested the property taxes.
