Located on Turk Street (Tenderloin District). I posted another photo of this business with the right window taped up (taken earlier in the year). This one includes the fans at the top which remove the hot air and chemicals from the the plant. They were one of the things that attracted me to the building in the first place.

This is a dry cleaner's dry cleaner. The place where cleaners send their dry cleaning if they don't have a plant on their own premises.

From a day/night shoot where I tried my best to avoid shooting the usual cliches.

Maybe ill call this collection BC (Before Coronavirus)

The neon on the canopy says "Walk In" and "Curb Service." A real estate listing says this was a dry cleaners. It also says it was built in 1938, which seems implausible.

This former dry cleaners left behind this nice sign without it's neon or bulbs.

Ghost Signage in Balfour Street, Edinburgh

This lovely old hand-painted sign was revealed in the past year or two after a very ugly facade was removed (here's a link to a Street View image showing how it used to look: www.google.com/maps/@38.239344,-85.7366357,3a,90y,272.79h...)

The smaller sign located on the side.

Opened in 1890 and was the first steam laundry cleaner in Beaumont. The company was sold in 1979 and the new owners (Ace Image Wear) kept the name for decades because of Shepherds' stellar reputation in Texas.

Closed since who knows.
