Excerpt: LA TIMES, Thursday, November 14, 1985
"Kari Passi, (far left), the owner and operator of the Finland Baths in Sherman Oaks, says that his sauna and massage business is exaclty what it seems. "We aren't very trendy," he said after leading a tour of the oldest and largest public bathhouse in the San Fernando Valley. ...Passi is the latest in a line of Finnish-American masseurs to preside over the bathhouse.

Established in 1947, [Finland Baths] has long been a haven for Scandinavian methods of sauna and massage, and very nearly an anomaly in an otherwise health-crazed city. ...as a well-established bulwark for traditional massage, Finland Baths has made a point of clinging to its past."
