Reminds me of a time my friend Ron and I were hunting quail and got caught in a driving rain. We were soaked, came back to the motel and changed our clothes. We took the wet clothes to the laundromat. Someone stole our clothes. I went back later and the clothes were folded and stacked.

Used to be a place at A&M called the Scrub Pub. A laundry mat with a bar so you could have a couple while you wait. It was genius!

There's pretty good money in the laundry business in the right local...and if you are handy.

Laundromat, been that way in Abilene since the 1950's. “Washateria” Another name for a laundromat, the term “washateria” originated in Fort Worth, Texas, after Noah Brannen opened the first self-service laundry facility in 1936.

We took the wet clothes to the laundromat. Someone stole our clothes. I went back later and the clothes were folded and stacked. I just...…...bare.......ly do believe this...….. But then, I had a car stolen once...… I eventually found it..... The thief, had washed,...…. and detailed it.... Had the oil changed...….. The tires rotated...… And even polished my old hunting boots, in the back seat....
