Reminiscing - who remembers "Soap and Suds"?
May 11, 2022, 1:36 PM
|
|
When I was a freshman, I did laundry whenever I ran out of clean underwear, at Dillard Hall. My sophomore year, a buddy introduced me to Soap and Suds, and it was all downhill from there. Drink beer and shoot pool while your clothes are in the spin cycle? What a concept! And after I thought it couldn't get any better, I discovered "fluff and fold" - take them your dirty clothes in bulk, and they would launder, fold and deliver them back to you for $0.49/pound. May sound expensive, but measured against beer and billiards, it was likely a tossup.

I’m pretty sure I would have heard about a place like that.

It was a novelty as was the Hardees that was there ... prime real estate for which the value far outweighed what Soap and Suds could bring in ---

If the beer is too expensive at Green Laundry, you can walk across Brushy Creek Road and load up on Coors Light, fried chicken, and a Slim Jim at the Spinx. And, if you need to shop for some other items, you walk around the corner to the Dollar General.

What is "lander?"

I have fond memories of it! It was a bit of a hike from Johnstone, so the buzz wore off on the slog back to the dorm.

My Mom was happy I started doing my own laundry.

that Howell will get the last laugh on red meat eaters when he gets older.
Now, for me, I can't imagine passing up a good hamburger or steak!

It was open around '85 - '90, more or less. I hit it up a few times. Good times!

What was the bar right behind Hardees in the '80s? They had great long island ice tea.
