Creative naming and creative spelling are not only tolerated here, they are embraced, I'm afraid. I have some pet peeves that are hard to let go of but I long ago threw up my hands about how things are named. We have a snowball stand called "Queen of the Ball." There is, or was, a Splish Splash for washing, Smartwash, Cleanerama, Washing Well, Clothes Spin, Laundry Basket, Super Spin Cycle, Dirty Laundry, Super Suds, Laundromax, Spin Zone, Smart Wash. <br /><br />The default is just as likely to be Washeteria as Laundromat. On Maple there is a laundromat with connecting doors into the Lebanese restaurant. Labna and Laundry; no that's not the name but it is the game.<br /><br />I love your trips about town.Anitanoreply@blogger.com
