All laundromats are not created equal!

I "washed," and I use that term lightly, my clothes at an absolute hole today.  I would have been better to get a tupperware out and go old school with a big stick....Anyhow...here are some visuals (just imagine, while you are enjoying these pictures, that the temp is set to blast furnace in this pit).

10 dryers in total, three working - Notice not a chair in the place.
Also the one rolling basket pictured here did not roll and was filthy. 
Classy "out of order" sign

Just "no" to all silver dryers

Of the two large capacity washers, both were broken and both had hand-written notes saying the machine had stolen the user's money.  I ran to get more quarters and when I got back there was a man collecting the quarters.  He stuck the note in the quarter hole - thanks dude, I mean he could have taken he note...

Fans were covered in dirt, off and no switches anywhere to be seen


The three dryers that were working gave off a ton of heat.  It was significantly cooler outside at over 100 degrees.  Sister and I were flushed and sweating and we were there for 1 hour and fifteen minutes total.  Also one dryer gave 8 minutes per quarter and the others 6 minutes per quarter.  I didn't want to be there any longer than necessary so I used all three and felt robbed the entire time.
There were no other patrons - I don't blame them.  I will be sure to do my laundry at any place other than the Florence laundromat from now on.  I spent $12 - it was extremely overpriced for filth.  There was a washer with four inches of rancid water in the bottom.  Obviously this place belongs to someone who never frequents laundromats except to collect the coins.  I could go on but will spare you.
