To live in New York, unless you’ve got lots of money, is to have more than a passing acquaintance with laundromats. This one looks clean enough, but it’s cluttered with detergent bottles. The place is open; you can’t see the lone customer because he’s putting things in a machine by the wall.

Socially speaking, it’s probably the same thing to be taking pictures of washing machines as doing the laundry on a weekend evening. I’m going to focus on the funky pink lettering rather than ponder that question.

By the time I got off the F Train, the storm had moved through Park Slope. Traffic was slow on Fourth Avenue, and people were surveying the damage, sweeping up. Trees were down, some cars were smashed, and leaves and litter were everywhere. Part of this laundromat’s brick facade came down. An ambulance was on the scene, but everyone seemed okay; a few people were still inside doing wash.

It’s a laundromat, or so they say. I think there’s a detective agency from a 1940’s movie behind this door on Eighth Avenue. Duds and suds? Obviously some shady lingo that an average passer-by won’t understand.
