The shake out (closure) of massage parlors in San Gabriel and South El Monte are starting to happen. Some owners, that have been on the hit list and have been denied a Conditional Use Permits (CUP) to continue to operate their businesses, have opted to quit. A popular place "Sunshine Massage" have closed recently and consolidated their business with "Royal Beauty Care" across the street.
