It's amazing how spoiled we have become with something as simple as washing machines. About a year ago, our washer broke down and my wife and I had to go to one of those laundromats in town. It was like going back in time to 1966, those yellow vinyl chairs, the vending machines with those little boxes of detergent and bleach, linoleum floors and Paul Anka/4 Seasons tunes piped in over the speakers. Most of the other patrons had English as their second language - or maybe their third language. Everybody there looked depressed. Went through a lot of quarters that afternoon.

Back when I was stationed in Cheyenne, Wyoming, there was a television commercial for a local facility with a bar, laundromat, dance club and bowling ally all under one roof. I don't remember the name of the place.

I had given some thought to a nude laundromat so you could get 100% of your clothes clean. When you wear clothes to the laundromat, as soon as you get home, you have clothes that need to be washed.
