I hope this isn't entirely true. Granted, many laundromats are trashy with broken machines, but most are well-maintained. There are a few benefits that mean a lot to me. I enjoy the old-school video games. I enjoy the idea that a 2-hour load is not only cut in half, plus a multi-load wash is done in one hour. But most of all, it's the last respite that I feel comfortable sitting down and doing absolutely nothing. It's generally quiet enough that I can just let my thoughts roam, watch the TV, play video games, or even take a short walk. Maybe it's nostalgia, or that I never lived in a place with a well-functioning washer and drier, but for a short bit of do-absolutely nothing moments, I'll happily take the laundromat over the beach any day.
