I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed this classic awning sign on 8th Avenue and Bay Ridge Avenue in Dyker Heights, since I must have passed it every day on the way to the subway during the 1980s. I have developed a “Forgotten eye” since then. This was taken on a Saturday afternoon, so the place is likely closed now and the sign will be removed once the space gets another tenant.
There are dozens of “French cleaners” all over the place, but these days they have nothing to do with France except that the dry cleaning practice, done with chemicals instead of water, was apparently invented there.
