Winter Hill Laundromat

When I moved back to my old hood and had no w/​d in the place, I resorted to my former laundromat. BIG mistake. Never before have I experienced such rudeness and just basically poor business practices. Sure, lock the door when you are open. I’ll just go somewhere else. And when I call to ask a simiple question, you hang up on me. Repeatedly. Never again. Never again. Dicks.

Pretty decent Laundromat.
pretty much the same as everyone else has stated before.
not very classy but not über sketchy either.
an occasional smoker but nothing hardcore or screams «unsafe at any speed»
mostly working class folk (predominantly non-​english and blue-​collar) and the occasional college/​med student or two thrown in for an garnish.
prices are the same too, a big washer will run you $ 4 and a smaller one is either $ 2 or $ 2.50. Dryers are 8 mins for 25 cents.
No air conditioning a fan or two.
bring your own laundry detergent and fabric softeners (duh!)
also you need to start your laundry at least an hour and half before they close (hence the last load time on the sign if you haven’t done laundry before)
Only takes quarters but has a bill change machine (for $ 1 and $ 5s)
it does offer free wifi though.
service (if you need it) tends to be on the borderline helpful side.
(they’ll try to answer any questions you have, but don’t expect them to go out of their way to make your day)
If you go to the laundromat for the sake your laundry go here. If you are looking for yet another way to add constructive social dialogue to your boring humdrum existence, (or to try to snag dates) you won’t find it here.

Call me crazy, but I love going there. Yes, I do have fun there!
I have been doing my laundry there for two years. It is a bit crowded and on Saturday you can see the same familiar faces, friendly people who receive the customer with a smile, and other customers — mostly ladies and couples, families who go there every Saturday and become friends. While our clothes are being washed we talk about life, pets, health, menus, local places to eat, boyfriends, husbands, education of kids, etc.
After the 40 mins of washing in the 4.00 machines (which are really good) I can check my emails on line because they have wireless or I can try my luck at Salvation Army store, next door.
Honestly, my clothes get nice and clean, fluffy to be folded with 5.00 and I have the chance to laugh and talk to nice friendly people.
What else could I want from a laundromat?

I take my clothes here because it is right down the hill from my apartment. They have an assortment of machines and the dryers are super hot. On the negative side, it is always crowded with undesirables. But I suppose that is to be expected at a laundromat. Once I saw a cockroach on the floor and it’s not the cleanest place ever but it gets the job done. i hope my next apartment has a washer/​dryer in the unit. A girl can dream.
