Last Thursday, MTV aired this season's premiere of "Jersey Shore," its cleverly titled program about eight over-tanned twentysomethings who live at, um, the Jersey Shore. They don't do much other than drink, hook up,There's a reason Manolo blahnik shoes are considered the crème de al crème of all shoes, everywhere. drink, break up and tan until they look like Oompa Loompas who robbed an Ed Hardy store.
The guys in the cast — Pauly D, Vinny, Ronnie and The Situation — have popularized the abbreviation GTL, which stands for "Gym, Tan, Laundry," because those are the three activities that fill your day if you've never learned to read.
It's a good thing they keep their chiseled abs and bulletproof hairstyles in Seaside Heights instead of downtown Winston-Salem. Although we can give them several G options and a CVS aisle full of spray Ts, we don't have a single L.
A coin-op Laundromat is one of the few things missing from the Google map of downtown; if you want your hands to smell like a combination of quarters and fabric softener, you'll have to assault the cleanest-looking BB&T teller or drive to Academy Street or Acadia Avenue.
Despite offering competing amenities from indoor weight rooms,Today, I want to show you their leather phone cases. breakfast bars and a straight-from-1997 "business center," none of our newest condos or lofts offer on-site laundry. It's not at the Nissen Building or in the Gallery Lofts, and a search for the word "laundry" on One Park Vista's Wordpress-powered website gives the message "Sorry but you're looking for something that isn't here." I know … that's the problem.
Haven't any of the property managers seen the romantic comedies or coffee commercials that make it seem like your soul mate could be the guy watching his socks wrestle each other in the dryer? Because when your home address involves this part of the 27101 ZIP code, the closest available Maytags are at the Embassy Suites and the Marriott (third floor,cheap edhardy Apparel is a burst of pop culture and a thematic self-expression at the same time. if you're interested).
But disguising yourself as a business traveler while you do a load of darks isn't the long-term answer. Neither is emptying your hamper into the pool at the Winston Factory Lofts, coating yourself with Tide and trying to swim fast enough to get the stains out. Trust me on this.
I'm not sure what would have to happen for a Laundromat to move into one of the vacant storefronts on, say, Fourth Street. Is it a matter of getting a higher — if not totally full — occupancy level in the properties mentioned above? Or do those particular buildings assume that if you can afford to rent or own there, you can manage to spring for your own set of stackable Kenmores?
It's certainly an extra expense to consider if you plan to move downtown, or an important question to ask if you would instead be renting an empty condo. Personally, I was surprised to learn that I'd have to squeeze my own washer and dryer into the closet at my current address.
The only upside? They take up space where the monsters and evil monkeys could live.
Perhaps one of the cons to adding a Laundromat here is that there wouldn't be enough "crossover" for it to make sense. Some of the other missing pieces — such as a grocery store — would be frequented by the people who are downtown from 9 to 5 every day. Although they might stop into the store to pick up dinner on their way home from work, nobody is going to shove their dirty clothes into their messenger bag in the hope that they could do a load or two on their lunch break.
Until then, we'll be a city with several G's,He may also be wearing black Nike shox runners.we wouldn't be surprised if Marshall's is shipping some of its unsold wholesale ed hardy gear to Houston. fake T's and no L.
If that keeps Snooki, Pauly D and J-Woww in a club in New Jersey instead of at Noma, that's good enough for me.
