Back home, Tallahassee had several, and they were all more popular than The Love Line (#14) is here.

Soup and Soap, Duds and Suds, Sit N Spin? And then of course, there is the "fluff and fold" and the "wash and dry." Does anyone else notice a trend here? Soup and Soap, Duds and Suds, Sit N Spin?

It was a bizarrely decorated café / laundromat that served pizza and beer, and also housed a venue in the back. Mostly I just recall a lot of blue paint and a good jukebox. I think it's no more, but correct me if I'm wrong! This reminded me of The Sit ‘n Spin in Seattle’s Belltown.

I haven't been to a laundromat in ages now - but that was by far the most fun I ever had doing laundry!

Now it is Thai Food and laundry, but they aren't connected. One trend I have seen is huge advertisements for "Newest washers in town." Honestly, I hadn't ever given it much thought as to the age of the washer. Welcome allybird. In our neighborhood, it use to be Soup and Soap, a combined old school lunch counter and laundromat.
