Star Brite Laundromat

The equipment in this place is old. I’m surprised no one has ever used this place as a movie set. It looks deceptively small but it has more than 4 rooms! I’m surprised it’s taken me this long to discover this place as I used to take my kids to the attached car wash occasionally to wash the car ourselves as a hot day activity.
I took C here after SM looked up laundromats in Coventry. He had 40 lbs. of clothing to wash. He wanted to do it himself but I had reservations. I’ve done large washes before and I know that taking it to a laundromat isn’t always the fastest way to do a large batch. We were stuck for time though.
Immediately walking into the door I heard something I have never heard in a laundromat before: «Do you need help with that?» The lady pointed C and I to a room through a small maze of hallways that had a $ 6.00 machine. Close by was an $ 8.00 machine and that looked like it would take all of C’s clothing except a blanket which he placed in a smaller commercial washer. We plugged in the quarters, turned them on and left for lunch. She had told us it would take about an hour.
An hour (and maybe 15 minutes,) later we returned in time to unload the machines and place the laundry in dryers. Next to the $ 8.00 dryer was this mutant antique of a dryer that was HUGE! Against my best advice C placed all of his clothing besides the blanket of course within it’s barrel. I had thoughts of coming back to parcel out clothing to smaller dryers and wasted quarters. Of course the blanket went into another dryer. I noted the old-​fashioned centrifuges where for a $ 1.00 you can spin out extra water from your load. I had seen a woman loading one when we had come in with the dirty clothes. I wanted to use one but C was a force of nature and we left for Newbury Comics.
We came back in about an hour after leaving the clothes to dry for 45 minutes. They were neatly piled over one of the rolling baskets you find in laundromats. Someone wanted to use the behemoth dryer in our absence. No big deal. We folded the clothes, packed them up in his duffle bag and left.
This place is awesome. Before we left I peeked into some of the other rooms. One room looked like an entertainment room with a pool table, video games and a claw crane game. There’s a television in there as well as some seating. I saw at least two ancient steaming tables that customers could use as well as two more centrifuges. There are tons of dryers and washers in this place and they have free coffee for customers. All the machines (as far as I know,) use quarters so they also have change machines. There are many folding tables interspersed around the rooms. The room with the huge dryer had a table with chairs where 2 girls were eating their lunches at. This place is very relaxed. I think I love this place!
