Coin Laundry, 1932 Dunbar Road: mid-2000s 3 comments
This old laundromat is across the street (Dunbar Road) from Frink Street's Town & Country plaza, and looks to have been vacant for a good while.
City Feet says it was built in 1970. To me it looks a little earlier. These places always had a certain smell, and a certain look, with the soap dispenser machine with its metal levers and slots, the hard plastic bucket chairs welded to a rail, and the plastic high folding tables. And of course, the whish-whish sounds of the washing machine agitators and the clinks of metal buttons each time the jeans got to the top of the dryer drum and fell down again..
UPDATE 14 December 2012: Updated the closing date from "1980s" to "mid-2000s" based on the comments.

I live fairly close, and I remember being open within the last 5 years.

Huh, that's much later than I thought, but I'll update the closing date.

My mom did her laundry here for 15 years or so. I want to say it's been closed for about 5 years. Maybe a little longer.
