Well, I don't want to bury the lead, so the first (and really only) thing you need to know is that this place no longer exists. I walk past it all the time, and a couple/few weeks ago all the machines, etc were suddenly gone; next day windows were all covered with plywood & remain so to date.
Good news is you're better off without it. I've lived nearby for years in various buildings, some of which had no laundry. This place is in a great location, near all kinds of things (coffee, bars, grocery) to do while waiting. Yet they went out of business and I'm only surprised it didn't happen sooner. Laundry machines, change machine, and bathroom were endlessly problematic- never once were all 3 working at the same time. Also small, cramped, only a few seats so you'd constantly feel crowded or like you were crowding someone else.
On top of all that, the lady who was always working there (unsure if she's owner or employee) was just forever looking & acting like this was her own personal hell. Got a uestions, comments, a friendly hello? Didn't matter, her response was invariably: A) a long-suffering sigh; B) snapping at me; C) disregarding me entirely; or D) some combination thereof. And that's not even getting into the huge attitude she'd throw if--make that when--a machine ate my money, failed to wash/dry, etc. Twice she literally screamed at me when I had the audacity to expect accurate change from the change machine. I'd been there maybe 10 times before I knew they had a bathroom, bc when I'd asked she told me to go to pick n save a block away. I should maybe thank her for that, since when I finally did figure it out, it was, to quote the movie "Trainspotting," the worst toilet in Scotland. Best of all during my first & last visit to that stink closet, the moment I stepped inside she was pounding on the door saying "customers only!!" For the record, I'd been there for an hour and done 4 loads at that point.
So this sure got long for a place that isn't even a place any more. Hope you've found it entertaining. read more
