I actually used to enjoy Maggies (Sanlitun location) back in the day. There is/was more to it than picking up Mongolian whores (good music and always packed late night). In short, I don't think its moral attributes are significantly worse than --say-- Suzie Wong's.

Back on topic, I drove by there on the way home from work tonight and noticed that it is, in fact, closed. Not only that; there was one of those notices on the door that usually don't convey good news to the owner.

But, like someone else said, the owner of Maggie's has big time 关系. My hunch is that he's being asked to step up and pay "olympic rents" if he fancies tapping the lucrative summer market.
