IVIV, "the place was turning out to be bigger inside than out", p.21

[Mark Kohut]

Yea, very good point you make....I think I have misread based on thinking
he was somewhere else in the 'miniplaza of shops' and never getting out of my head that the Pussy-Eater's Special was like a restaurant dish.....

And, then, thinking restaurant, I thought couples go there as well......

Is "out in the hallway" still in the massage parlor?

Thanks,

Mark
