I talked to a couple of people who work there...and they're not talking much. The Chinese girls (non-hookers, theoretically) have all gone back to their families and don't know when or if they are coming back. The sign says it is shut down for a fire code inspection. The truth is more likely that having spent a lot of money on the huge renovation, someone in the local government decided he didn't get his cut and played his shot perfectly. The "guanxi" with the PSB has been an overstated joke for years, mostly a Beijing "urban legend".

Too bad. It was a fun place to hang out, play pool, listen to good music and watch people pick up the Mongolian girls.
