I'm lying a little bit here. You'll never hear me say I'm a fan of a coin-operated laundromat... ever. But every now and then when I'm on a vacation, and the load of laundry is bigger than the washer/dryer unit in our shore rental, a trip to the laundromat is sometimes inevitable.
The local Econ-O-Wash in the Crest is open 24 hours a day and is as clean as a whistle. Here you'll find a wide array of washers and dryers ready to meet your every need. All of the machines, old as they may seem, work quickly and efficiently, and the pricing is more than fair. You can make change of bills as high as $20 here. And of course, all of the requisite vending machines for snacks, detergents, bags and the like are available and ready to take your money.
I had hoped my experience waiting for my laundry to dry would be like those old Calvin Klein commercials. You know, the ones where a beautiful woman in a tight cotton tee sashays into the laundromat, catches eyes with you, and cartoon heart bubbles abound in all directions. Sadly, that was not the case on this day. :( read more
