The Quiet Passing of a Park Slope Landmark

“About a year after World War II ended, Peggy was the sole woman among hundreds of men who went to the Concord Hotel in the Catskills to hear a sales pitch on a brand new concept: self-service laundries. She came back to Park Slope and convinced Benjamin that they should sell their building and the five-and-dime and buy the building for sale up the street, the one with a storefront space big enough for washing machines and extractors - there were no dryers at first. They opened the Launder Center, and the family moved in upstairs.”

Finally found out they are moving Donuts to this new space (I’ve looked inside, looks like more of an upgrade than La Bagel even made). I also apparently live on one of the best blocks in the city. Would never have guessed it.
