Free clothes up for grabs as East 10th Street laundromat closes



The laundromat (Chow & Lam Corp.) here at 204 E. 10th St. near Second Avenue has now apparently closed, victim of a large rent increase. EVG regular Steve Carter passed along these photos from today...



Mimi and her son Antony worked steadily here for many years. Mimi opened the Laundromat with her husband Peter, who passed away in May 2000.

    One last bit of generosity from a long-time neighborhood - and neighborly - institution. They will be missed.
