Simpson and 5th

Dec. 24, 2010. I think at the time this photo was taken McCleary Video was already gone.

Laundromat, or, Laundry Mat

Dec. 15, 2012. The outside sign has one version, but inside the name has another. Or at least it did in late 2012. 

McCleary Laundromat before the bashing

Dec. 15, 2012. This was shortly before the front of the operation was bashed in by a vehicle. Also note the existence of the veterinary clinic next door, which alas did not last long here. The loading dock of the Post Office is pictured on the far left.

I'm told this area was the site of a garage run by Russ McMillan in the old days and Russ had a stuffed lamb with one head and two bodies in his display window. I was acquainted with Russ but never had a chance to ask him about this oddity or what happened to it.

There's a style here that is very 1970s even though the building was constructed in the 1990s. I like it. Feb. 12, 2013
