They've been there for over 35 or 40 years and are now utterly surrounded by high-rise jillion-dollar glitz.
I take the car wash's picture pretty much every time I walk by. Just in case.
I took a ride through the thing, even though I have no car. I saw a cabbie going in for a wash and hopped in, paying him for the opportunity just to ride through.
Here's the scintillating film footage of that adventure. Enjoy those soapy mitters.
Anyway, a good sign recently appeared on the car wash: "Under New Management."

I'd like to think this bodes well for the future of the place.
"Under new management" presumably means they're not selling out to a luxury developer, and they're going to keep washing cars (and bikes). Hopefully, for many years to come.

I love the car wash footage! Does the meter really say $8.50?
I hope so too, but there is a building going up right across the street, 12 stories I believe, super luxury condo. It is going to block my view of Jersey. High Line development $$$ beckons.
$8.50? I don't remember it being that much!
Looks like the base rate is 3.50.
