Fellow mongers - just 6 months ago, the SGV was a boomtown for finding decent looking, younger providers at a reasonable rate. In the past 6 months I've seen my favorite AMPS and independent providers close. My last regular independent is now out of business and I'm left to going to HJ only establishments or seeing how far I can get at legit MP's. With the economy down, I'd think there would be a greater supply of providers. The only thing that makes sense is that local communities are cracking down on establishments with the upcoming elections. Does anyone else know what is going on?
