The food is so-so... but for some reason I think has an interesting vibe. The menu is like Denny's. The dishes are hit and miss 0but there is a bar next door, the food tastes better after a couple drinks.

Keep in mind that I do not offer access to laundry machines at my home. However... there is a great place just down the street. I have used their facilities numerous times. Plus, there is a Goodwill in the same parking lot... you can buy more clothes there to wash!

There are two laundromats near my house, they are roughly the same distance from my place. Take your pick. I haven't been to this laundromat, but I do drive by it all the time.
