Brother Steven's point about being next door to New Fantasy--especially quiet now, isn't it? poignant.

Now, Western, you know the room I was in earlier this year......the sheets and pillows were my own sense of "home"!!

Castillo staff let my do my own laundry too! (Check out the COSTCO prices for 500 thread count sheets.....VERY affordable for a broke guy like me!).

I'm confused: Has NF been shut down? Has ZB been shut down? Haven't found a cogent thread that states, in specifics, what has and has not been going down with respect to the MP bizness in San Jose.

Irrespective, even if NF and ZB shut down, I'd still put my money for a night's rest with Hotel Castillo. Great location; great people running the place; typically great people staying there to swap lies with (and some truths as well!!!); nearby all manner of food joints; cabs with the meter running and not the rip off and AWAY from the GHETTO called Del Rey. YMMV and IMNSHO.....

http://www.teletica.com/videos7/telenot ... olos25.wmv answers my questions.

The link above is a video from the television that documents the July 25 raids on NF, ZB, Muses, and Dungeon.

Hmmmm....wonder if this is simply a matter of not having paid for the right "permit" or if it's a genuine crackdown.....

All the more reason to stay at Hotel Castillo.....no chica fee!!!
