A few months ago I got the Street Roots magazine from a vendor. I came across a poem called The Laudry Mat Blues by Dumpsta D.
A few years ago I was researching what it would take to own a laundromat. My vision was to have a very clean laundromat, most laundromats that I have been to scare me. I think people would appreciate a clean comfortable place and sanitized machines. Offer coffee and tea. I thought of names......maybe Swedish Laundry? I guess Heidi Fleiss got herself a laundromat in Pahrump Nevada that she named Dirty Laundry. I don't think it is open anymore.
After some reading about owning a laundromat I decided that maybe......no. The idea I have about my own laudromat was nice though. Going to a laundromat in Portland is like an adventure, you just never know what you might encounter.
Good luck finding a laudromat that sanitizes the machines. The bar is set low. That is not how it should be. It looks like no to my own laundromat for me. Perhaps I can figure something else out to do.
