Laundromat at 480 St. Marks for Alma Realty tenants
Laundry!!!!!
If you live in one of the Alma Realty buildings, HOW EXCITED ARE YOU TO SEE THAT THE LAUNDROMAT IS NOW AVAILABLE???? I wish it was in my building, but apparently the entrance is at 480 St. Marks. Has anyone been to it yet????

Excuse me, I think you dropped some of these:
????!!!!!?????????!!?!!?!??!!!?!! -
what?!!! i just moved out a month ago. so sad. though i do like my new apartment better for various other reasons, so i guess i'll get over it.
-
haha yeah I still haven't gone over to check it out but I am doing laundry tonight so I'll report back for anyone who cares
-
Only took them like, 3 years! Let me know if it's worth switching to from Laundry City. XD

Ok so I went to do the laundry there on Saturday and I am so HAPPY! It has like 60 washers and 60 dryers and NO MORE COINS! They have the card you add money to instead. The dryers were free this weekend but not sure when they are going to go back to charging for them. I really liked it. There was 1 big flat screen tv there and all new carts and machines obviously. Very spacious unlike the laundromat on Rogers Ave that you can barely even walk up the aisle.

Subject: ST Marks / Alma laundromat
I've lived on Prospect place in the jewish hospital since it opened, and the new laundromat is amazing, though overdue.
I'm sure it'll get crowded, dirty and annoying, with prices through the roof, but for now it's great.
Much cheaper than laundry city ( and the lady at laundry city totally sucks such a bitch) and supposedly drop off laundry will be next day. At 75 cents a lb with a 5 dollar minimum. Over 5lbs is 65 cents, which is a great deal. Bubble works and Laundry City are a dollar per lb or over.
They have different sized machines, all a dollar fifty cheaper than the laundry city machines ( corresponding sizes etc).
Bathroom, sinks, seats, natural light, tons of machines, I'm sure the card system will continue to be a fuck show but whatever.
25 cents per 30 hr is supposedly what the dryer rates will be, ( we'll see, free for now) if people catch wind of that then the entire neighborhood will be there.
Nice to finally have it open, somewhere to meet people in our bldg too[/b] -

I was wondering, can anyone go there or do you have to live in one of the Alma Realty buildings? It looks like anyone can go but I was under the impression it was a tenant laundromat. It should be! Would be more likely to stay nice and clean, because you're totally right that it will get dirty and crowded eventually. ugh

I hate to be highlighter of nasty commentary but did you really say that? I mean, really? only the folks that live in the jewish hospital can keep a space neat and clean, and only the folks that live outside of that space can make it dirty and crowded? whoever thought there'd be an elitist laundromat in crown heights? -

well darlin, that is not what I meant at all but I like the way you think. I meant if less people were using the laundromat, it is likely to stay cleaner and less crowded. If anyone from the street is allowed to use it, then obviously there will be tons more people in it than if only people living in the Jewish buildings used it. duh! and I dont know if you see the neighborhood we live in, but a lot of the people are pretty trashy. We don't live in SoHo or anything. -

whoa. thanks for underscoring your point. blech. -
WOW.
are you perhaps one of the JewHo residents yelling under my window at 3am every warm night of the year, littering our stoop with cigarette butts, and letting your yappy rat-on-a-leash piss right in the middle of the front of the steps.
do you hang out with the guy who "trained" his little dog to stay out of the street by repeatedly placing it in the road and then screaming obscenities at it? he groped and then threatened to kill me the first time we met, but i don't think he remembers -- he was pretty drunk, as he seems to be most mornings.
or maybe you're one of the young ladies who had a physical fight out front last summer, culminating in one of them stripping off her clothes and running down the street half-naked and screaming. (excuse me -- that wasn't the culmination, per se, as the police had yet to arrive.)
i'd hate to know what it would be like to live with trashy people.... :roll: -

I'm not sure who you're talking to or about but whatever. the neighborhood we live in is infested with trash (and I mean people, not actual garbage) so to say that these punks wouldn't dirty up a nice laundromat is just way out of line! HA! Funny

i'm going to chalk this up as one more reason to avoid plan b.
happy bud-swilling. -

Jesus. all I did was ask a simple question and say I would prefer to have a private laundromat and you all are getting all high and mighty acting like we live in Beverly Hills.
happy bud-swilling. -

I think the issue, really, is that *you're* acting like you live in a wedge of CH that is Beverly Hills and that the wedge you live in should not be accessible or benefit the residents of the rest of your neighborhood. that, at least, is what I'm reacting to (obvi negatively). -
i don't think calling other people "trash" is cool. actually, i think it's pretty "high and mighty", not to mention trashy.

Subject: Unfortunately, you're both wrong
Alafairnadia: You jumped too early. All Vampiressa had said was that making the laundromat public would make it more likely to become dirty and gross. This is undeniable, and it has nothing to do with thinking the tenants of that residence are any better than anyone else. There are plenty of rich bankers who have nice cars and sick apartments who get drunk and piss on the street. If someone feels like something is either theirs entirely, or at least exclusive to them, they will likely treat it with more respect.
Vampiressa: You went overboard with the insults of the locals. It was mildly offensive and definitely insensitive.
Also, the neighborhood's a little rough around the edges. I like it that way. But you can't deny it.
Oh yeah, and I think wanting to have a little wedge that is only accessible to me is totally acceptable. That's why I pay rent and don't live on the street. And if my building wants to provide something that is only accessible to me and other tentats, all the better. If they install a pool in my building, you can bet your ass I dont want everyone in the neighborhood to use it. (that would be true no matter where I lived.) -

hey, I totally agree. I don't think, though, that V helped herself in her initial response to my "jumping too early" which, as I said, served to further underscore her true point. if you disagree, no prob.

also, having amenities is nice and who wants to share? I have roof access to my building and roof rights. I could, theoretically (and kinda want to), build a roof garden. am I going to? no. why? because every building connected to mine has access to MY ROOF. I might own that space but I can't charge folks rent treading on it nor can I prevent them from destroying it.
and yes, that is part of what makes the neighborhood a bit "rough" but I don't have a problem with that. I just think folks need to be respectful of the fact that there's a lot of diversity here. -

Thank you. I agree. I shouldnt have said our neighborhood was trashy but there is a whole thread dedicated to robberies and shootings that does happen in our neighborhood and everyone is always complaining about the hoodlums selling drugs and loitering on the street and no one gets mad at those people for suggesting the neighborhood aint all that great, but when I suggest having a tenant-only laundromat, I get reprimanded and told that I am calling for an elitist laundromat. You explained exactly what I meant a lot better than I did. thanks!
Also, I wouldnt have even gotten into that if the girl answering to my post hadnt gotten all snappy with me suggesting I was being rude. When I wrote it initially, I wasnt even saying our neighborhood was trashy, I just meant it more like you said about having a pool. The less people using it, the better and in a city like NY, it is hard to do that. -
