Ha!! I would say You are maybe the best judge I have heard from about the laundramat..4 kids-wohoooo I did not know that--- well the place still looks the same I guess at least here in Or.
In Ca. they have gotten very fancy with a connecting singles bar, etc. lol--- that would be interesting folding your clothes with or near someone you were attracted to -ha!!!
Yep hand-held - so thank you for the break altho I was getting told that I was over-sharpening..so also I was aware of that factor... bla,bla, bla,......Thank You Paul .

Wow I was just reading the comment Michele and I just cant
hardly believe mo one thinks this looks like every laudramat
in american.......Of course now Im talking 25 30 years ago
so I guess they may have change quite a bit. but they all
used to have games. At least on penball game and most had two and maybe one other.Id almost guess the restroom sit off to the side or somewhere close.
lol
Just thought Id blad a bit more!

Love

Paul

Well now theres a familer view of the classic american
Laundramat if I ever seen one! For sure this is what most
all laundramats looked across american 25 years or so ago
anyways!! lol
I been to enough to know rasing 4 kids without a washer
for many years!
lol Very interesting shot and I like that fact that you
took this. Its a bit soft however. You were probably hand
holding this shot so that would explain .......
but other than that I like it. The crop is right on and good perspective........
Thanks for sharing my friend!

Much love

Paul~

heh, I can't say I've seen a pinball machine in one... mothers must love the owner of this place. Having to fight their kids over whether they get to play. But yeah, still looks the same as any other I've been in.

I'm not sure if we have here such a gamble machine in the laundromat lounge but I don't think so.I know that we have only one laundromat in town and I'm sure that is a boring room with washing machines and dryers:)I don't use it because I have my own machines.But if you have to ge there it is a great idea to put such a machine there and the time pass very quick!Good shot my dear!!!!!
Warm wishes my friend....Nicki

Haven't had to use a laundromat in years, but never any games in the ones I frequented. Now I use the laundry room in my apartment building, but the machines are still plenty expensive. I love this colorful shot...very cool, dear Michele!

Liz Wallis Liz Wallis   {K:26133} 11/1/2007
No Michele, ours are nothing like this!!...we have to sit and wait in boredom around here...no such thing as a game machine for us, (just the soap and softner, if you are lucky) I only wish there was..not that I have to use them very often, but there was a time where I did...Nice to see the difference between yours, and ours :)
Cheers
Liz
