Campbell Laundry and Cleaners

  
     So, the spouse needed to scrub his scrubs, and we selected a laundromat nearer the Bookman's on Grant. This was no fly-by-night operation; everything was clean & tidy.
      The laundromat itself has as neighbors a Chinese place, a Japanese place, a Mexican place, and a sandwich place. You'll never starve doing the didies here! There's also a nail salon just in case you're feeling super-diva while the drips are drying. That's not even the end of it. There's a TV, which was on CNN when we were there. There's wireless, unless the lady in the seat at the end of the (bolted down) cast-metal garden chairs was using her own hub to do accounts receivable. There is also a GREAT BIG SIGN touting the solar heated awesomeness of them. Good business strategy- there are yoga studios around here too. Heh.
The Laundry:
The spouse was happy with the wash, and said that even though the dryers were only 7 minutes a quarter (pbbt!), they were an efficient seven minutes. However, it took him $1.75 worth of minutes (he only did one load, mind), so I say these dryers are where these kids make their money. Yay America!

Pluses:
  • No shortage of distractions for those who do not contemplate the infinite as the laundry spins... and tumbles... and falls... and spins....and...  
  • The atmosphere was very businesslike and goal-oriented. 
  • Zero shrieking baby factor at the time. That's a fun. 
Minuses:
  • This is more of a disclaimer, since the spouse was the one having sudsy-time, and I cannot speak to the results on my personal wardrobe maintenance routines and habits. However, I will say that I would wash my own clothes there, based on what I've seen, and that's more than the last two got.
