hmm, I wouldn't mind a few wrinkles ironed out :)
so it seems I was wandering around Tsawwassen
on Christmas Day twelve years ago, Ross must have
been on shift work.
This drycleaner closed recently. There is only one open
now, there was once four.

Tailoring shop on Dalry Road, quick shot on a wet night walking home, liked the light from the inside reflecting on the wet pavements.

Dry cleaner's with very good ratings in Hernals, Vienna's 17th district. In Vienna, the motto is ‘Be more than you seem’.
Odd place for a photo eh! This is Sandgate Dry Cleaners in the suburb of the same name (Sandgate that is!) of Brisbane. We had a walk around in the blustery sunshine Saturday morning and passed this rather long lived shop, bringing forth its usual swathe of memories. I told you I was pensive this weekend!
When I was a kid in the '60's, my dear Aunty was the manager of this exact shop, then part of the Peerless Dry Cleaners group. It has hardly changed, maybe the computer screen on the counter and perhaps the counter has been refurbished, but otherwise, it looks no different from when my sister and I used to spend hours here, waiting for my Aunty to finish work and take us home to her place. When I think about this now, I wonder where my Mum was...maybe out shopping but not far away I am sure.
My Aunty's home, the family home was not far away in adjacent Brighton. I am much older now then they were back then. Where did all those years go? And how great to be back in their always loving embrace. I guess we all have memories of childhood like this in millions of different ways. Personal and irreplaceable.
Well, that's enough of that, but whenever we occasionally walk past, I can still see my Aunty's smiling face at that counter serving a happy customer. And she never had to ask them to wear a mask!
See the very professional sign on the counter!

With people working from home during the past twenty or so months, the need for dry cleaning dropped precipitately. In our area, at least three dry cleaning businesses have been shuttered during the past few months. I was a customer of this one for at least ten years, but they’ve closed their doors.
