In life one has to face a huge assortment of disappointments. Luckily for me, my perfect apartment is still perfect thanks to my neighbourhood laundromat.
When I first realized my new apartment had no laundry I was absolutely gutted. How can you have bay windows, hardwood floors, such a big kitschy kitchen, an adorable porch and no laundry*? The pros outweighed the cons so I reluctantly moved in. What can I say? I love fresh clothes. Well luckily, George's is mere steps away and I've truly come to embrace my laundromat time.
They don't have Wifi, but I tether to my phone (like a boss), bring a tea, my purple wheelie suitcase and post up at one of their folding stations. They have 6-8 triple load washers and about the same amount of top-loaders. Their dryers are massive and quick, and 54 minutes (I think that's 6 quarters) dries about 10 days worth of dryer friendly clothes.
If you aren't into tethering to your phone and making a folding table your desk just enjoy a good book and the people watching. Sidebar: folks tend to wear the funniest stuff on laundry day.
PEPPER POINTS for their detergent and change machines. Who has that many quarters normally? No one.
