My Trip To The Laundromat

It is not often that I have to go to the Laundromat.  I am fortunate that I do have a dryer or I hang out my clothes.  BUT...... when I have to wash my king size bed comforter, I will take it to the local laundromat.   I  have to confess, I love to people watch when I go to the laundromat, don't you? 

 Okay, I love to people watch anywhere  I go.





This is my first visit to this laundromat.  It is one my son uses on occasion.  There is a Walgreen's on one side and McDonald's on the other side.  The laundromat is fairly small.  When you are attempting to move the wet clothes from the washers into the dryers... Well, it is a tight squeeze!

 You gotta be careful of the dryer doors that are open as you navigate your way from the entrance to the back.



The gentleman folding his red shirt was a man of much laundromat knowledge.  He  was able to tell other customers where the money changer was, where the restrooms were, oh yea, he knew everything there was to know about the place. 

Again, the aisle for you to get from point A to point B was ALWAYS crowded.  These people  are on a mission aren't they?

Of course..... who wants to spend a beautiful fall afternoon in the Laundromat?? 

The view from the front door.  Bet you never knew how fascinating a laundromat could be?   Okay.... maybe not so fascinating but definitely interesting.


  

Here is  my comforter on its last few  minutes of drying time.  It took way too long!!  I had things to do today! 

Point of interest:  To wash the comforter in the "Big Boy" washer was  26 quarters or $6.50.    And the dryer charged a quarter for every 15 minutes.  I fed it  8 quarters or $2.00.

Not bad for a clean comforter!  And I didn't wreck my own washer from overloading it. 

And here I am, at the back of the laundromat scoping out the other customers.... Not the worse way to spend an afternoon.  It was definitely entertaining!
