And now, the last post ever about a laundromat at 173 E. 2nd St., maybe


[EVG file photo]

The end and a new beginning.

Closure on the Klean & Kleaner saga on East Second Street. The laundromat here between Avenue A and Avenue B had been on the market for use as a bar-restaurant. The Living Room unsuccessfully tried to relocate here. The place then closed in the middle of July... then reopened as a laundromat a few days later under new ownership.

And now, the laundromat has unveiled its new sign. Please welcome Fresh Laundry & Cleaners.



The Free Dry with washer use (details!) remains in effect through September.

The heartbreaking reality of Rite Aid's former Photo Department



The last vestige of the Photo Department. Replaced by a display of beer and toilet paper. Discarded on East Fifth Street. It just wants to process film. Dream over.

OK, so it's a "photo courtesy." It's still cause for an Arrowbration.
