I do miss having a laundromat on the block. I miss having my quarters sometimes count. I miss my few dryers which didn't have holes cut into them to collect the loose change fallingfrom tumbling pockets. I miss my triple-loading machine that was labeled for $4 but would secretly accept $3.75. I miss the washer that had a broken door needing to be slammed extra hard to seal it but when people didn't know this after they put in their money they walked away and I would use it at their expense.
