Every landuromat I've ever been in in fifty-five years of life has been dirty, smelly, and run down filled with tired, sad-eyed people staring vacantly into space or thumbing thru dog-eared, coffee-stained copies of the "Watchtower" as they wait for their loads to dry. I don't believe I have ever been in a more joyless place in all the world than any laundromat, with the possible exception of a hospital cafeteria on Christmas Eve.
I'll proffer an even more joyless place: Casino de Montréal. Only other gambling venue I've ever been in are the slot machine areas of Las Vegas Airport, while waiting for a connecting flight.. Those seem pretty grim and depressing as well.
Now, I can't say that all casinos are like that--- but after having experienced what I did, I really don't want to find out. At least at a laundromat, you come out with a basket or two full of clean clothes for your quarters.
