TIDBITS Do you want to be a poster boy for the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDU) or the Bureau of Immigration (BID)? It is easy to do if you are a foreigner that has decided to invest in the Cybersex business here in the Philippines, especially in Angeles City. According to the 24 Aug 05 issue of the Philippine Star a total of 10 computer shops and residences have been raided in Angeles City since the government stepped up its campaign against cyber pornography. A number of these raids have been against local Filipino owners but a large number have netted some foreigners as well. The papers love to splash big headlines about these raids and the great efforts of the CIDU along with bashing the foreigners caught in these raids but that is the end of the reporting. It is too bad that there are no industrious investigative reporters with the balls to follow up on the stories to uncover some of the questionable tactics being used in these cases. For example, could it be that some of the foreigners involved have had their legal rights abused? Have innocent people been victimized? Sometimes an innocent person is falsely accused or suffers a "set-up" and regardless of protestations of innocence, in order to maintain one's freedom, the cost, financially, can be quite high. The best thing to do, if you are a foreigner is to leave the Cybersex business alone because the heat is on, very much so. You will find that you cannot trust the people you employ for too many have a tendency to turn against the owners of these sites. Last month one foreigner suffered a raid by the CIDU because of his alleged Chat Studio business and during the course of the interaction with the Law Enforcement officials it was found that he had a visa that had been expired for two years. The foreigner insists he is innocent and will obtain a lawyer to fight the charges and questionable methods used in detaining him. Why do so many foreigners and local Filipinos take the chance on operating these Cybersex studios, whether it be in Manila, Angeles City, or Cebu? The answer would be - MONEY! It is a lucrative business and the rewards warrant the risk. If caught how much could a "stay out of jail card cost - I have heard that anywhere from P150,000 to P3,000,000. A few years ago, there was no risk as many site owners did not think they were doing something against the law but that has changed. So, should one consider investing in the Philippines, absolutely, just make sure you stay out of the Cybersex business. I cannot give many details here but a second Angeles City expat who was detained by the CIDU last month and put under extreme pressure despite being completely innocent of the ownership of any Cybersex studio was able to receive assistance from the American Embassy once they were made aware of the false charges. This individual was picked up on a mission order/warrant but never officially arrested whereby he would be eligible for bail. Technically he could be considered as being kidnapped and held for ransom. The actions leading up to his detention and the subsequent results could make an interesting HBO original movie. The American subject was allowed to leave the country, end of story? Maybe not! There are still questions that the American Embassy, particularly, the Home Land Security Section would like to have answered. This investigation will be ongoing and this Horse has a deep felt appreciation for the aggressive actions taken on behalf of this particular American for the end result could be a safer environment for foreign businessmen in Angeles City. From an article in the July 05 issue of Filipinas Mag. Filipinos with cars older than 1999 models will no longer be allowed to register with the Land Transportation Office starting 2006. This restriction is due to the Montreal Protocol, whose mandate is to ban the use or CFCs in the next 5 to 10 years. Old model cars still use CFCs in their air conditioning systems. Department of Environment and Natural Resources officials say the Philippines received a World Bank grant of $30 million in 1994 to implement the Montreal Protocol compliance schedule. If the country fails to abide by this international protocol it will be penalized with a fine of $10.48 for every kilogram of CFCs not phased out on schedule. (This is one LTO policy that I find hard to believe for if implemented - 75% of the drivers in this country would be reduced to walking or riding a bicycle). I have to thank Mike, who lives in the Villa Sol Subdivision for passing on the following information: Hey Harry,Following is an extract from the Tourist Police (TP) blotter relating to an incident in which a temporary resident of A. Santos Street decided to throw a billiard ball through the door at the Wild Orchid Resort. The details reflect the quick action of the Tourist Police in apprehending this low life and also might indicate that some of the folks who occupy some of the establishments on A. Santos might not be all that happy about their imminent removal from the area. Some locals love to report negatives about the TP without voicing their questions to the proper people and getting an explanation. Recently, one expat was relating that some girls he was talking to on Real St. were mentioning that the Tourist Police were aggressively checking the ladies walking the street without Club ID cards and he considered this harassment. Well, my goodness, this would be the same guy that would no doubt ask for help if he decided to take one of these free lancers to a hotel and then get caught with an underage girl. There have been incidents where some expats and tourists have been set up in this manner. Personally, I am glad that there are people about that will take the time to check these wandering ladies out. Now, if there are specific complaints about excessive behavior of the TP, get the name and badge number of the individuals involved and report it to the TP office. It WILL be investigated. This was forwarded to me by a reader of the AC message board: Some Filipinos are brave..... 2 days ago (aug.17) I went to an Bar to have a couple of drinks and meeting friends, while sitting with the Papasan and some friends the Papasan from the Winchester Club (Dave) came into the bar and reported to us that 2 NBI guys are in the Winchester Club and checking everything, The Papasan from the bar that we were in had a good connection to the police, so he made a few phone calls and it was found out that there was no NBI operation ongoing. The local police went to the Winchester Club right after the phone calls, but the individuals had left. The Papasan from the Winchester Club described the 2 guys as: 1 tall and fat, the other one skinny and average size, they had NBI ID's, carried radiophones and wire sidearms. To all who have a business here in AC, if those guys come into your establishment, "ask for a MISSION ORDER", if they can not present this, DON'T let them inside, call the police. Just to you let you know guy's !! (It is always best to ask for ID's when individuals like this enter a club or business. If in doubt call the Tourist Police at 625-9999).
THE FUTURE OF A. SANTOS STREET
The American Legion Post 123 sent me the following information which should be helpful to American military retirees living in the Philippines. The service we had before with CyberCare and Health Visions is still a distant memory but Rosie at CyberCare has told me that they are beginning to get some paperwork through. "Website for Tricare Pacific http://tpaoweb.oki.med.navy.mil/ About halfway down page on left side click on Tricare in the Philippines. Here you can get information about tricare in the PI how to file claims and the forms. Also gives a listing of providers in the Philippines. We also have a link to this site on the post website on our links page. Speaking of errors, for some reason when I think of the short lived "Last Drop Club" that was on Friendship Highway the word "error" appears to be appropriate. While trotting along I used to hear words like "error in judgment, error in partner selection, error in finances, error in plans, etc." Well, I guess John D. has solved all those errors and found new partners financially able to settle all outstanding debts and has brought life back to the little niche of property that is not controlled by the Koreans. This time the name is "Cold Drop" Bar and Grill with the same outside look but the bar inside will feature a stage with dancers (of course, what else is new) and the normal group of entertainers. When I visited renovations were ongoing but one could tell that it would be an improvement over the first attempt. Sure hope that this time the "Cold Drop" will be around for an extended period of time or else the next name change might be "Dead Drop". A horse has difficulty using a computer as it is difficult to bash those keys with big ole hooves so whenever I meet someone who can provide me with some expertise I like to pass on their name to others. In this case, my stable gets boring without some music playing but I can't figure out how to do all those downloads. Coming to my rescue was Martin Kurzyniec (don't ask me to pronounce that one) AKA as Mark or "Tripod" who I discovered has the expertise, knowledge and patience to create MP3 discs on request for a reasonable price. He has made up some nice dance tunes for some of the bars in town and has made two up for me. Now Priscilla has asked me to get him to make up some horsy love tunes for her so we can have a few romps in the stable. Oh, yeah, Mark's cell phone number is The Bahay Bata Street Children's Center needs the assistance of English speaking expats that can spare a little bit of time each Monday from 1315 hours to 1500 hrs to speak conversational English with the kids that are housed at the Center. The teachers at the Center's school instruct in English only and to further assist the children a time has been set aside each Monday so that the boys can practice their skills and interact with some folks from the local area. You will not be required to teach, no lesson plans are required, only some time just talking to the youngsters. Does not matter if you are Australian, English or a Yank (but this horse speaks New York and they are nervous about me) as long as you enjoy yourself. This will not take any money out of your pocket, just time, in fact if enough people volunteer a schedule can be arranged and you may only have to come once a month or every other month. Please call the Center to volunteer, ask to speak to the secretary "Baby" (45-599-6484 or - 09154310516). Recently I was talking to a civilian contractor that works at an Army Base in Korea called Camp Humphries and from what he was saying, this has to be one of the most politically correct camps in Korea. It seems that the Commander, one Col Talatenio (Sp.?) has dictated that only E-7's and above can drive, must be at least 21 to drink, being caught with a prostitute is an offense subject to article 15 (the Col has said "prostitution is associated with human trafficking - a major criminal offense), and in one instance, a bar off Camp was caught serving a 20 year old a drink and the Col put 12 bars off limits without any consultation with the bar owners. This resulted in anti-Tolatinio (Sp?) signs being posted downtown. The reason given for this narrow minded attitude is that the bosses are scared to death of doing anything to offend the Koreans. Now, you poor lads that are working your asses off in a less than desirable assignment in Korea, there is hope for you. Save up your leave time and get your butts over to Angeles City, Philippines where you can enjoy life like a soldier should. Try to forget the Col and the General and just chill out. It sounds like there are a lot of unhappy soldiers at Camp Humphries but fellas, all the folks in Angeles City sympathize with you and wish you well, we appreciate you even if your Commander does not. My horse's big ears have picked up a rumor around the stable that Derek and Clay, the industrious lads from the Doll House have acquired the property in which the Thai restaurant, Krueng Thai and Angels is situated. The Angels present lessee has a four year lease and naturally the Hawaiian Duo would like to buy it out so they can take over Angels right away. No doubt the purchase price of these freehold properties cost fair amount of change but give credit to a couple of smart operators that feel confident in the future of Fields Ave and have the cash to invest. By the way, some folks have asked this horse what that gaudy Doll House bus is used for as well as the larger one that is being painted in a lot near Saver's Mall. Well, I'm not sure but maybe it is used to pick up all those guys coming in from Hawaii for a bit of entertainment here in Angeles City. What better way to be picked up then by a party bus loaded with some friendly hostesses and a bit of refreshment. It sure eases the frustration of being stuck in the traffic in Manila. Then, I could be wrong, maybe it is used to haul in more money for the lads to use as they try to buy up all of fields Ave.
I did take a couple of pictures of the Friendship Bridge to show how nice it is to see two way traffic again with no traffic backed up. Of course, they had to use the new bridge as well as the temporary one to accomplish this but, hey, whatever worked. It did not last very long as now they have closed the approach to the temporary bridge and the one way traffic system is back. Naturally, the traffic being backed up is back and motorists are kind of upset about it. Whose fault is it? Well, it may be my fault! You see, when I was taking pictures there were still some ladies from the barrio there trying to collect donations from the motorists as they passed over. I kind of teased them and said, "hey, how do you expect to collect money, your services are no longer needed", she smiled. No doubt I planted a bug in their ears, causing them to gather all the other "collectors" and they formed an instant collectors union, developed a plan to sabotage the approaches to the temporary bridge and now are back to work collecting money again. Isn't it wonderful to be able to sit in a long line and burn up that over 30 peso a liter petrol that continues to go up in price every two weeks! Don't worry, you can always hire a calesa to get around so my fellow horses and I can earn some extra money. Lately there has been a lot of comments on the message boards and newsletters about the coming of slot machines to Fields Ave. This horse has had detailed information on these plans for a few months now and have avoided writing anything about it. Why? Because, despite current construction and renovations to accommodate the slots, the necessary final approvals from PAGCOR and even the selection of the company required to provide the machines has not been finalized. It is an ongoing project and some folks are putting the cart before the horse. Once everything is finalized (if ever) then I will feel confident in providing details. Personally, I feel, if approved, it will be good for Fields Ave as it will add new life to the street with more entertainment, more eateries, more women and more tourists. Oh yes, there will be many punters that will argue against it and many that will approve, and for sure it will be a hot item of discussion. Meanwhile folks, regardless of whether there are slots or not, the plans for the Club that will replace the razed Top Hat are out of this world. It will be one beautiful building, inside and out. How bad can that be? It is one of those bars that have had a few name changes. How about Shafto Lane, Silk Stockings and now the Speak Easy. When it was Silk Stockings and owned by some off center brothers it was not a place that was kind to horses or many other people as well. But now, after some rather extensive remodeling, a change of owners, it has become a more intimate, comfortable location to visit, sip a drink or two and enjoy the ladies dancing behind the extensive L shaped bar. There is only one problem, the line-up of dancers on a scale of one to 10 has to tip the pleasure meter at around a shaky 3. It has not been open for long so there is room for improvement in that department but some of the waitresses are worth a second glance. To be honest, there is no special reason to visit the Speak Easy and there is no reason not to do so. It is an average Club situated on Fields Ave that will never draw a big following but should do enough of a business to stay afloat. The long narrow hallway entrance still exists but it is brightly decorated and not as intimidating as before. This is a Club that can use a few gimmicks used by establishments such as the Gentlemen's Club and Nifty's Club to excite the senses and get a lot of word of mouth publicity. They have to do something to get the folks out of Treasure Island. There have been a lot of rumors floating around that Mo will be selling out and moving to Subic or Thailand. Recently I talked to Mo and he told me that the rumors are not true but has confirmed that he has had offers from some of the money people floating around Angeles City. Remember, Mo is a businessman and if a decent profit can be made he is always open to offers. There are certain elements in Angeles City that can make life difficult for Club owners that appear to be successful that they would consider moving to a different location. Another rather sad message sent to my stable from a reader that did not listen to sound advice given to him by many different people - hence a lesson learned the hard way. This was sent to me so others could learn and realize that all those ladies in Angeles City that claim love for older men are all that genuine. OK, before everyone jumps on me I do know that for every failure there are at least two or three success stories."you know before I came to the Philippines I read everything I could get on the internet, the info said:
You've heard the expression "young and dumb and full of cum" well that's not me (except for the middle bit; I'm not young).
So here she is sitting in her unit with cable TV, DVD, stereo all the mod cons., allowance-she don't have to work in the bar and I'm in Australia working, planning and saving for our future together. (In between TV commercials her tricycle boyfriend was helping her write love letters to you and asking for more dental work) However, the fly in the ointment Her sister is married to a rich Americano, (those damn rich yanks again) and her sister misses her so she offers J (not her real name) an opportunity. So J is thinking this Aussie just wants to hump her every chance he can (well I'm only human but I like her and want to be with her). (So now you went from loving her to "liking" her) Her sister offers her a deal that sounds attractive: a trip to Singapore and experience as a bartender, for a bargirl this is a big promotion, plus she will be remunerated and be with her own kind who will support her (her sister) Harry, baby you've heard it all before, what should I do? (Dump the bitch, buy a month's supply of Viagra, come back to Angeles City and bury yourself in beer and sex) Here is her Dear John letter to me form j: Hi, I was thinking this for the fast few day, and It is hard for me to decide but I need to. And I decided to quit this relationship early, because I don't want to marry a guy that always counting, and specially not trusting me and I can feel that. And I don't have nothing to explain, And your thinking so bad on me, I will move on my life and go back to my sister. So I guess this is a last good bye. I hope you can find somebody else that will love you." (She did you a favor, obviously whatever she was spending the tuition money on did not help her English or spelling. Now go back to the advice quoted at the beginning of your message, follow it and just be grateful that you did not marry this cunt that thinks you are cheap and not trustful. Pity the guy that she suckers into marrying her because she won't stay with her sister for too long. Or maybe, after she learns how to be a bartender, you can reconcile with her, bring her back to Angeles City, open a bar and lose more money.TOURISTS OF THE MONTH
TAPS Once again I have to report the passing of a gentleman I knew but not as well as his many friends in this town. Shane Ricky, 47 years old, suffering from cancer, passed away at the Philippine International Hospital last month. Over the years Shane performed manager duties at many different Clubs in town, his last venture at the Viper Club. I used to run into Shane quite often when he was playing pool or when I would pop into a Club he was working at. Once again, at PIH, the lack of blood for a transfusion contributed to a patients demise but this is common in most hospitals in Angeles City. There is often serious problems in being able to obtain required blood in a timely manner and there is not a good system in putting out the call for donors. I am not blaming PIH for anything, just the system that exists here in the Philippines. Blood Bank? Forget it, and delivery of needed blood must be by carabao, it is so slow.
LAS VEGAS CLUB
Adding to the continuing changes on Fields Ave we now have a changing of the guard for the Las Vegas Club. Will has sold out to the Korean who owns the Agasya Club and extensive renovations are taking place. I was told that the Korean owner has big bucks and considers these clubs a hobby. This is kind of obvious if we consider that the Agasya has never Ibeen all that popular and has been opened and closed a couple of times. Can we expect anything better from the soon to be opened renovated Las Vegas Club (new name unknown at this time)? That is a question that can be answered only after it has been operating for a couple of months. Now, this Korean has done us a favor as all the dancers from the Las Vegas Club can now be found at the Bunny Ranch and that means a good time for one and all. Will McCullum and his Mrs. are a lot friendlier than the Korean click that runs the Agasya.
POT BELLIED PIGS POSTER BOY
THAT'S BETTER It was not my intention to be cruel and just let the readers hang in with just the image of Mike in his G-string so to offset this horror I decided to include the pictures of 20 year old Claire who I am sure you will appreciate. This lady is very interesting, personable and sexy. She works at Bar Hoppin, only 20 years old, from Bacalod and I think her email address is rodrezucs@yahoo.com, not sure if I read her writing correctly. I don't usually take a rear shot but if you study the picture closely you will see why I thought you would enjoy the view.
BAR HOPPIN
On the night I went in to the Bar Hoppin Club the Hash House Harriers were there as a stop on their Wednesday night bar run and the place was really jumping with activity, laughter and all the girls having great fun. Owners Don and Dave were on hand and Don was doing a great job in directing the dancers and keeping everyone happy. For you guys that want to meet a charming lady who is not an entertainer or dancer drop in to this Club and say hello to the cashier and disc jockey Josephine. She is a joy to talk to and only 22 years old. Most guys would miss this charmer as she is hidden behind a high desk where she works the books and the computer music. I met a happy George Clook, 47 years old, from Gloutershire, England. He was being well looked after by Bar Hoppin charmer, Salbe. The story was that he came to AC last Christmas, got the bug, has returned again and now wants to retire here in three more years. Anyway, Don and Dave, thanks for a fine evening and, for sure, I will return for another visit.
ALASKA CLUB
I finally made it to the Alaska Club and I certainly picked the right night. The owner was a birthday celebrant and the place was packed with party goers. Naturally, the dancers and some special ladies from Nifty's made sure that the birthday boy was properly cared for and teased to death. I love it when I can add a few pictures to my special private file because as you know, only G or R rated movies make it to this column. Much has been written about the Alaska Club in other newsletters and on the message board so I won't go into any further details here. Generally speaking, I think they did a hell of a job on the renovation and it is a great addition to the Fields Ave area. Quite often, the owner and the managers are the ones that set the tone for a Club and in this instance, they are right on. The State of Alaska might have months of very cold weather but not so the Alaska Club for they have enough ladies on hand to keep you quite warm, under any conditions.
CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST
Once again this great fund raising event for the Street Children's Center was a huge success. A total of P932,000 was raised, just missing the objective of one million pesos. It was so close to the magic figure that some folks decided that they were going to do something to hit that one million mark. So, our good friends at www.pokhercards.com, and www.asianescapades.com joined together, dug deep in their pockets and came up with an additional P30,000 to bring the total over one million. This is an example of the generosity shown by so many supporters of the Bahay Bata Street Children's Center. The mission of this Center is to not only provide a home for the street children of Angeles City but to provide them an education from elementary school, to high school and if so desired, college. The operating costs of this Center runs to P250,000 a month and its survival is dependent on the
individual donations received and the great fund raisers that the folks like Mark Smith, Trance, Roadslut, Hank Morrison, Jonathan Smith, Seair, Beeline Travel, Neil Meacher Go2Phil and Larry Johnson organize and contribute to. Believe me, there are many more names that should be listed but they are content to just know that they have been a part of an event that will continue to help some lost children that now, have a future to look forward to. By the way, plans are already underway for the Christmas in Christmas Fund Raiser at the Road House with the same key personnel taking up the cudgels again. So, I will close this now with and give advance thanks to those already working for the Dec event, folks like Trance, Roadslut, Cookey, Iceman, 351ute, Pieman, Stirpot and many more. For those readers that are not familiar with the AC2 Message Board, those are nick names used by members using the board.
THE SHINBI
This restaurant is a bit different. It is Korean owned (as is nearly everything else on Friendship) but they offer a varied menu. For Japanese food they employ a Korean chef and a Filipino chef for the Chinese food. A lovely Filipina hostess by the name of Jesse gave me a guided tour. The specialty of the house is the Shabu-Shabu and they offer an all you can eat treat for P495. You can build your shabu-shabu using a choice of 50 different kinds of meat and seafood, putting it all in a boiling pot of water, vegetables, spices, etc. sitting in the middle of the table. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, equal to high end eateries in Manila. They also offer a Japanese sushi bar and the operating hours are 1000 to 2230 hrs seven days a week. The upstairs dining area features round tables with the revolving centers in a large open room with carpeting. They also offer five VIP rooms for that can seat 5 to 6 persons. I have not eaten there yet and I am not an expert on Shabu-Shabu so I will have to wait and go with someone who is more knowledgeable than me in that department. Meanwhile, if any of the readers of this column get a chance to dine there, feel free to send me your comments.
AT THE LAST MINUTE
I did not intend to gather any more information or pictures but Dave Baker stopped by and told me about the reopening of Limited Edition and I told him I would try and stop by. The owner, Bill is a good guy and I hated to turn him down. Now, I took a few pictures but most of them and a more in-depth review will wait until my Oct column but there were a couple of pictures I had to put in, one in particular, because I don't think the lady will still be working a month from now. Above left we have the "hooters" girl but on the right is very sweet 18 year old Kristina, from Leyte who is an absolute doll. She was a dancer and I bet she looked good in a bikini, but now they made her a door girl. She has no boyfriend and up to three weeks ago (eh, it is 29 Aug now) she was completely innocent. She has five brothers and three sisters, her mother works but her father is deceased. She had to drop out of High School after only one year and somehow, she has an innocence about her and a very shy, quiet demeanor. I am willing to bet that this lady will no longer be working by the time I get back from the States in mid-October. OK, no more details about Limited Edition right now, will add more in October. Generally, this is one hell of a great place and the sports bar on the second floor is fantastic. They have two first class "nap rooms" on the second floor and soon six additional rooms will be available for rent. In the spirit of cooperation the T-Times, Limited Edition and Filthy Duck (Another new bar opening next to the Limited Edition, owned by an Australian father and two sons team) will provide a jeepney shuttle traveling to Macarthur Highway along Fields Ave and back to Fields West from noon to late at night on a regular basis. The slogan for the Jeepney will be "come here and be driven to our limits". If you want to know more about Limited Edition check out www.limitededition.com.ph.
Just as I was rushing out of Limited Edition to hurry back to finish this column Trond, from Norway and Bong cornered me to ask me to give a plug about their King Oscars II Sports Bar located along Don Bonafacio Rd., heading towards City Hall (Mountain View). The sports bar is located on the second floor of a four story building. Now, I just don't have time to search for the specific address but will present more details in October. They feature six pool tables and it is set up for the serious players though they do plan to hold clinics. By the way, Bong is the manager and also sells hand made pool cues of excellent quality. Again, I am rushed for a deadline, so Trond and Bong, I will visit you sometime in early Sep to get more details. Now, I am really behind time and my computer guru Chuck is standing behind me telling me to get my ass in gear so he can zip this file and send it to John Bee for their magic. I am definitely out of here, remember, be kind to horses. |
August was a very busy month and a lot has been happening in town. Webmaster Duck is out of the country for an extended visit to different parts of the globe and John Bee is the man that has to get this column out on time now. I have touched on a few items here, i.e., the Christmas in August fund raiser at the Road House for the Bahay Bata Street Children's Center, the Alaska Club, etc., but to get a more in-depth review of what is going on then I suggest you check out John Bee's coverage and great pictures on the Go2Phil membership site. I do the best I can but I can't match the photos taken by John's photographer. I have included a lot of pictures this time, maybe more than I should have but I just can't bring myself to delete too many. There have been a few items that I have omitted this month that I can put into the Oct column since I will be in the States. Priscilla and I are flying out on 14 Sep, heading for Las Vegas and I have promised Mrs. Horse that I will give her at least $50 to gamble with, of course that includes food, entertainment and gift buying. I am very generous like that! September is a month with unpredictable weather as far as rain is concerned so umbrellas are still required. It is considered the off season so take advantage of the ladies being a bit more anxious to see you. The political situation is still anyone's guess and the cost of living is still going up but that is world wide so you might as well pop over here where you get more for your buck. Maybe the Mrs. and I will run into some of you in Las Vegas, you can't miss us, look for two old horses trotting around the Casinos looking for the buffets. Cheers! 
Many readers of this column have been predicting that the image of Santos Street (Blow Road) will change now that the Orchid Inn folks have built a new fancy hotel and have plans to change the image of this famous street. As you can see by this photo the "Chimp Brothers" have already staked out a new location. Regardless of future changes enterprising folks, like the Chimps, will find suitable locations to practice the ancient art of oral stimulation. Any similarity to any tourists living or dead is purely coincidental and take heart folks, as you can see, Santos St. will never quite die off.
