Lopsided Businesses

[debodun]

We have 4 pizza/sub shops but not even one laundromat. Go figure.

I would rather have my own washer and dryer than a pizza shop. Deb, don't you have a washer and dryer?

I quite don't know what to make of that.

I quite don't know what to make of that.

I don't either as I can make a pretty good homemade pizza but would want the laundry if I did not have my own at home.

I have a dryer, but not a working washing machine.

Buy you a washer. You will spend more trying to fix the one you have than a new one.
Many years ago when I bought my condo I knew I would have to replace the washer and dryer. It was hard trying to find some that were not computer generated for everything. I finally bought a set that would do what I wanted them to do with the least computerized setup there was.

I already spent over $200 in repairs. The service tech said he couldn't guarantee his repair job and he was right. He added that as long as the appliance was in a damp cellar, it would continue to get rust inside.

No point in getting a new washer as long as the cellar is so damp. Anyway, a load at the laundromat is only $2 and I don't use my water or electricity or have to worry about maintenance.

How far do you have to drive to get to the laundromat?

 

[debodun]

One way - about 4 miles. It's in the next town. I spoke to the mayor once about getting a laundromat here and was told, "There will never be a laundromat here if I have anything to say about it." When I asked for an explanation the reply was, "It would attract 'undesirables'". I do not know how "undesirables" ties in with a laundromat unless it is people with dirty clothes that need washing.

 

[Sliverfox]

I can think of lot of other businesses that would bring in undesirables.

Perhaps the mayor lived in a larger city,near a laundromat?

Or maybe he's seen the Amish buggies parked out side one?
Stepped in horse crap??

$2 is a lot cheaper than the 10's of thousands it would cost to bring your house up to current standards.

Simple solution - wear pizza!

No bars here, either, but that doesn't effect me. No zoning. Why have so many fast food places in such a small community and a lack of that is really needed? What's in town - 4 pizza/sub shops, post office, library, 2 gas stations/convenience stores and a funeral parlor.

 

[Remy]

There is a town in my county where the main road is just lined with fast food places. I'm sure there is a laundromat but yes, fast food seems to reign in people's lives.

My stepfather never got a washer/dryer for his mobile home. He uses the park facility which has a very nice and clean laundry room.

I worked with a woman who called a laundromat a "washeteria" I had never heard that term.
