The property at 472 Atlantic Avenue has been sold and will be developed into apartments, according to readers who spoke to workers at the Atlantis Super Wash Center there.

I think it’s closing May 31, not yesterday (or at least that’s what the signs in the windows say). Anyone looking for a good business opportunity? The other two laundromats in easy walking distance are both tiny! There are about four vacant storefronts on Atlantic between 3rd and Bond…
