Welcome to this webpage pertaining to Chinese laundries. I grew up in the family business of Union Laundry at 274 Union Street at Gore Avenue in Chinatown Vancouver. The business no longer exists as we were expropriated in the early 1970s to make way for the Georgia Viaduct during the era of urban razing of dilapidated urban core communities. This web site is both a historical reclamation of one piece of my community’s working class past and looking back of an an occupation that I was born into. chineselaundries.net/index.html
