Laundromats are interesting services. I am not too excited about going to one, neither do I enjoy the awkward wait between loads. Although I find coin operated machines very interesting especially the ones where you turn a knob to dispense soap sachets. Array these machines and that ups my level of excitement. Even though a laundromat is far from an intuitive place I find that the instruction graphics pacify my anxiety. An anxiety of not knowing a certain laundry code everyone shares. Maybe because I did my own laundry for the first time when I was 24. I grew up with plenty of domestic help around me.

What made me think about laundromats was the fact that Boston, the city my wife an I just moved to, had some laundromat scene going on. A good reason for me to dig up the Boston housing history....
