Then

2008: seven yellow series signs on the wood paneled wall: BE AN ANGEL, DID YOU SAY CHANGE?, DON’T DYE HERE, THIS COULD BE YOU, HOWDY, NEIGHBOR, WE’RE NOT RESPONSIBLE and CAREFUL NOW! Photo posted 1 January 2008 by amarilla on the Museum of Laundry blog. Documented

July 2019: DON’T DYE HERE still up between gray electrical boxes, in a photo a stranger posted to Google Maps. This was the one wall the borough by borough survey turned up. Documented

Now

14 November 2026: no signs on the walls. The attendant confirmed the laundromat used to have them and photographed the Google Maps picture of the sign to show the owner, who wasn’t in. Vlad left a note with his number in case they are still in the back. Documented Where they went is unknown.

The walls today: yellow wood paneling, the same gray electrical boxes seen in the 2019 photo, price signs for the 18 and 30 pound washers, and a modern printed notice, WE’RE NOT RESPONSIBLE, We can assume no responsibility for damage, loss or theft of property. The same words as the Laundesign it replaced, without the cartoon. Documented

Know where the Rob’s signs went? Tell me.

The same seven titles still hang at 8015 20th Avenue. The day of the visit: I Saw The Sign.
