      The police have closed the block between Park and Washington and a number of fire trucks drove down there, but I can't get over to see what's happening. Anyone know?

      Danae, looks like there was a fire at the Dawn Laundromat at 754 Washington Avenue between Park and Sterling, around 5:15. There were about 60 firefighters on hand. This is the third fire on Washington Avenue in the past year.

      Man, I used to live right next door. Glad no one was hurt, and I really hope there wasn't too much damage to their business-- those are some nice guys at Dawn, crowded and unmanageable as their laundromat may be.

      I heard that all tenants were able to return, and that the damage was confined to the first floor laundromat.

      For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.
