G20

[Rodgersodger]

Was thinking to trying and get to couple massage shops in west end and cit over the next few weeks , but might have to try and fit them all in before g20 as I think will be neat impossible to get to a few of them while g20 is on

The couple of popular ones in west end will still be easily accessible during G20, as they are far enough from the exclusion area. Not sure about locations of city shops, so can't comment on them. The question is would you visit one with the potential of being seen, stopped and/or questioned by one of the hundreds of uniformed and plain clothes local and federal police that are roaming the area. Not that they would do anything about it at the moment. Unless you visit on one of the 4 days from Thursday next week, I doubt it would be an issue for you.

I can't see any shops that will be seriously affected. The declared zone won't have barriers, but may have some road closures while dignitaries are in transit or if there are protests.

The West End shops that I know of aren't even in the declared zone.


But if you are worried, it might be a good chance to use the day off for a trip to the GC. I think the cops would be leaving these places alone over the long weekend as I doubt the government wants our sex industry on the news while the world is watching.

Yeah no way will try to get to city shops but even west end looks like could be nightmare with streets closed and thought I saw browning st closed on g20 site. Might be wrong but think I better do I run around these shops this week before all the shit starts

Scroll down the page a bit to the 'Roads' heading and you can bring up a PDF of all road closures from the Thursday night.

Browning St is the detour route so no it won't be closed, but it will probably be busier with all the traffic being pushed that way.
