Coward here. I'm so glad you said it first! My Mother's business was doing illustrations of people just like the women in this ad--I remember them well. But this ad is less than honest (OMG!!! Dishonest advertising!!!?!) or is depicting a part of Southern California that was taken over by some cult. I'm so thinking of the guys from "South Park".
My second thought was, "Jeez, middle-classniks who are this well dressed and turned out at a Laundromat?!?!!?" "Maybe they're handing out free cartons of Lucky Strikes to the adults and candy cigarettes to the kids. | ||

1980's laundromat
I remember the Laundromat in the town I grew up in well.
It had 2 bulkheads of washers. One of them had 8 topload Maytags and the other was 10 Wascomat w74 18# washer extractors. Along the back wall were 2 w184 50# and 3 w124 30# Wascomats. I still to this day love the jet engine sound of those Wascomats winding up to extract. It ties with the Whirlpool woo-woo sound for my favorite noise made by a washer. The old Wascomats cleaned better than most anything I've seen too. There were around 20 30# Huebesch dryers along the side wall. In front there was a shirt pressing shop and drycleaning dropoff desk on one side and a sitting area with a sofa and TV and vending machines. | ||
