After looking around the downtown area of Albany, we started toward our hotel when my co-pilot spotted this abandoned neon sign for a defunct dry cleaners.
An advertising postcard mailed in Dayton, Ohio, on July 22, 1962.
Printed on the other side:
Pantorium Coin-op Laundry & Drycleaning
3970 Salem next to Shoppers Fair
You'll always find this place as bright and clean as you see on this card. Fast Frigidaire washers wash cleaner; spin dryer; save money on the dryers. Lady attendant always on hand 8 AM to 11 PM to assist you on coin-op drycleaning.
Signs above the dryers:
-- "We are not responsible for clothes left in washers-dryers.... The Management."
-- "Positively no tinting or dyeing.".
-- "If you want clean clothes, don't overload washer. Clothes must circulate to get clean."
Tailoring shop on Dalry Road, quick shot on a wet night walking home, liked the light from the inside reflecting on the wet pavements.
Glenda the duck likes her roots done once a month.
"Look at this Brenda the duck", she goes, "totally let herself go, how can a self respecting duck show up in public with hair do like that! Greys and all! "
=====
The duck walked right in to the hairdressers, spent a few minutes there walking about , checking things out, then walked out and proceeded to Drycleaners next door, walked in, checked things out , then walked in the direction of a cobbler next door ...

I'd have a perfect soundtrack for it if I only could remember the damn song, it has a line in it "I dye my roots - you ..."
first problem I can't remember what "you" does
second problem I don't remember whose song that is
all I know it is a girl and one of my all time favourites
that can only be one of these girls
Aimee Mann, Dido, Lily Allen, Barbra Streisand, KD Lang, Michelle Shocked, Lana Del Rey, Mary Black
I dismiss Barbra and Mary and KD and Michelle - none of them sound plausible for this line . Dido is a boarderline possibility.
It leaves me with Aimee, Lily and Lana
for the life of me I can't remember the damn song but I do remember it's a good one
my desperate googling spits out recipes for hair dyes
I don't want to dye my efing hair! I want an effing song!
this is very frustrating indeed
PS 4 hours later
... and then sure enough I remembered
and the song is not by a girl
and the line is a bit different but still some roots dyeing going on
and it is a rocking number from one of my favourites so I am happy, I am sure Glenda would love the tune
