Laundro-MagicIn parts of town where apartments or college dorms are plentiful, it's hard not to find a run down but well patronized laundromat, such as Laundro-Magic. Currently operated by Robert "Bobby" Taylor, a retired schoolteacher, the place has changed owners at least a dozen times since it first opened in the mid 60s, but has only been renovated once in that time, so it still sports the same rusty looking avocado green washers and dryers set into a pasty yellow painted wall adorned with a faded, but still gaudy whimsical rainbow pattern just below the ceiling.Bobby offers the standard self service laundry deal, 50 cents to wash and $1.00 to dry, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. In addition, dry cleaning and full service laundry services are offered during normal business hours of 9 to 5 monday to saturday, closed on sunday. During business hours, Bobby is usually present, overseeing his crew of 5 or 6 workers of questionable immigration status, as well as Rusty, the elderly janitor whose been on staff here since the place first opened 40 years ago. Rusty is friendly and talkative, sometimes overly so, and he's the one person on staff that PCs in a game might find useful, since he's around from 8 pm to 5 am every night, and has his eyes and ears on the shadier elements who stop in late at night to do their wash, as well as some of the drug dealers, prostitutes, gang members and other ruffians who lurk around the alley or the row of vending machines Bobby keeps out front. Rusty's a bit suspicious of shady looking folk, and a bit slow to warm to newcomers to the neighborhood, but once he accepts someone as a local, he tends to treat them as an old friend.Laundro-Magic is a large facility, with close to 75 washers and 100 dryers, and is often packed full of locals during the day and early evening, and even late at night the place is rarely empty. The backrooms, where the dry cleaning machines are kept and the office is located, are locked up at night, and all the locals who frequent the place know that Rusty only has the key to the broom closet and the front doors, in case of some emergency that would require closing up.</blockquote>
