"The friendliest laundry I've ever visited."

"Now open Monday through Friday, with preschool and baby story times on Tuesdays and open until 8 pm on Mondays."

"Your parenting Purgatory."

"Toddlers making each other laugh: adorable; the bathroom where the three year olds pee: gross."

"This place is like the parks of one's childhood, with see saws, a merry-go-round, and a tall metal slide."

"For all the complaints about the line, that's not where the soul-sucking happens. There are small vents spread throughout the store."
