Allbright Laundromat

I was forced to go to this laundromat this weekend, when the washing machine in my building suddenly decided that my blanket was too large to spin dry. I had to carry the dripping wet blanket to the nearest laundromat, which is this place.
It’s an unattended laundromat, which I think is pretty creepy, but aside from that, it’s a laundromat. It’s relatively clean, there’s a large assortment of washers, and there’s a large assortment of dryers. It has a change machine and a soda machine, as well as an old-​school CRT TV mounted on the ceiling.
I did think the cost of laundry was a bit pricey. It was $ 2.00 for a top-​loader (fine) but $ 2.75 for a front-​loader and $ 5 for the big industrial one. I just don’t think there’s enough of a size difference in the washers to merit that kind of price difference, especially since front-​loaders are more energy efficient than top-​loaders.
I think I’m just going to bring the heavy stuff here the few times a year it needs a washing, instead of wasting $ 1.50 to have a blanket or bathmat sit in a puddle for an hour in my basement.
