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 ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•

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 ๐Ÿ‘พ (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.

I washed at this laundromat back in the 90's. I worked at the Venice Ocean Co-op on Brooks and Lincoln and would do my wash there when I got off work. The Co-op has been gone, and the neighborhood is nothing like it was.
