This laundromat tells the larger story of a shifting community and the resilience of those who have managed to stay amid gentrification. Thank you for the stories and memory keeping 💕💕

Thank you for sharing! I remember growing up in Hollywood and going to the laundromat with my parents on Friday nights, playing on the arcade games 👾 (Bubble Bobble was my favorite) or doing my homework. And they had a little store inside the laundromat, selling the basics like detergent but also candy and toys for the kids.
