It cannot be opened from the inside, much like the door latch on early Maytag dryers. Now they have to either be magnetic or friction fit (ouch that's tight) so they can be kicked open by a child. I think dogs and cats are still outta luck. |

For some reason I remember that dryer door handle, even though I don't think there were that many Marquette laundry appliances popping up as trade-ins. I do remember a lot of Marquette chest freezers. I Google-Earthed a pic of the big appliance store that I pretty much grew up in. It looks like a lot has changed plus the area, known as the Burbank District, has undergone a Renaissance...a good thing.
That "mystery building" wasn't there years ago. I assume it's additional storage although they have a warehouse in the area. There used to be a house there. Behind it was a "cage" where the reject trade-in "refers" went. Then the rest of that area was an ocean of washer and dryer trade-ins (they did a ton of business) which was sort of my personal Disneyland. There was a hiden plug at the bottom of the light post and I'd spend hours out there with a big, long heavy duty extension cord. It helped that my dad was the service manager and a personal friend of the owner. There were 2 houses (right in pic) that they purchased for storage. You could look through windows an see nothing but Frigidaire boxes. They were a few break-ins. It's a parking lot now. I wonder if the Pink Poodle is still there? |
