Lights, Camera, Spin: A1A Laundromat
Torontoist photographer John Beebe is exploring the city's most interesting laundromats, one by one by one. Tune back in every other week for another clean, dry, freshly-pressed edition.
In our quest to document the personalities of our fair city's laundromats, Torontoist spent an afternoon in A1A Laundromat at Pape and Dingwall. Here, thriving plants, a basket of books and magazines, and big windows welcome customers to this local institution of clean.
David, owner and manager, waits for customers.
All photos by John Beebe.
