Coin Laundry

One time my friend told me this story about how he met this girl at a laundry-​mat that was totally hot and they hooked up there, and then she turned out to be a stripper too. I think this story is sort of made up, yet I still keep doing my wash at the laundry-​mat.
This particular mat is filled with dated front loaders that spin with such a fervor that many of the screws have been shaken out from many a spin-​cycle. They have 2 bigger modern front-​loaders, but the rest of the washers are all top loaders. A good percentage of the front-​loaders seem to be constantly out of order which is sort of annoying when it gets crowded which it occasionally does.
The laundry-​mat has a nice amount of dryers, which is good because you get jerks like me that decide to distribute their clothes across 8 dryers to maximize the drying time. I finish all my drying in about 20 minutes max! One strange thing that I notice is some of the dryers give you 8 minutes for a quarter while others give you only 7.
There is a bookshelf with lots of random magazines and romance novels so if you don’t bring anything, there will probably be something there to entertain you. They also have an arcade machine that plays both Bubble Bobble and Metal Slug and Pac Man. Make sure to bring a few extra quarters.
A 7 – 11, Mexican joint, Subway, and Dominoes are in the same strip mall so there are some options for eating while cleaning. My clothes come out looking and smelling clean and I can walk here and it is relatively cheap. Good deal!
