![]() In the time that has passed, I’ve flirted with a few Laundromats in the area, one brand new, another very old with only about a dozen washers and even less dryers that’s owned by a tiny South Korean lady who’s 78 and has no teeth. I have been playing the field ever since. No one seemed to care, least of all the owners who shrugged their shoulders when I complained as if to say, “Survival of the fittest.” Needless to say, I was very sad, having to lug all of my belongings to a washer, then to a dryer. ![]() I entered the place and eyed a large group of people at the other end of the room with almost all the carts, save for a few people in the middle who had stolen away some, marked their territory by placing their baskets inside the cart and leaving them outside their respective washer/dryers. To my surprise, the place was crowded, and more than that there were no carts to be seen either in the parking lot or in MBL. This is a much better procedure than carrying everything: soap, bleach, softener, purse, book and basket into MBL, especially after a hard day’s work. I like to park somewhere in the lot where I can spy a silver cart, often loading my laundry into such a cart and wheeling it into the laundry. So I visited MBL one Thursday evening thinking there would be a minimal amount of people there. Needless to say, I haven’t been back since.) When I asked about leaving me a machine so I could dry my basketful of clothing, in a snippy voice and demanding tone she said, “But this is my business!” as if I should have know that on first glance. It was a disappointing visit, as this individual took up almost all the washing and drying machines, a fair amount of carts, and oh, yes, all of the folding tables, as she divided up her various customer orders into different sections. In addition, epoxy flooring can be installed directly over your existing concrete floor, making them ideal for those who want to keep their cost per square footage low. She wasn’t the owner of the shop, but just a customer who conducted her business there. This metallic floor design uses a simple squeegee pattern in two colors to create a classic and timeless look. (To be honest, I once strayed to another Laundromat being seduced by the shiny chrome and ample equipment, and I actually did find someone who’s business was doing other people’s laundry. ![]() The owners have purchased a large amount of silver laundry carts but not nearly enough to service the throngs of people who pass through the front and rear doors at any given time.īecause most arrive with gigantic loads of laundry, and in saying that, I have often seen one person bring in five or six baskets plus additional bundles making me think that a) they do laundry for a living, b) they haven’t laundered their clothes for a month, or c) they take care of a very large household. It is quite large but is still crowded at various times during the day or evening and always on weekends. So Dear readers, I know it has been quite a while since I have posted to this site, but I must confess that I have left my Beautiful Laundromat (MBL) over, of all things, a cart.
