Maybe it's b/c I live in a small college town and even if they did offer it anywhere, I prob. wouldn't use it b/c I love to do laundry, but I digress. Anyway, can someone explain this to me? Thanks.

I live in a small college town and one of the local dry cleaner's also does laundry (they are located across the highway from our campus farm). I'd start with checking those out. I do it a lot when I am busy or if I haven't gone to visit relatives (I always do free laundry there). They also have a punch card for drycleaning and I use coupons since none of my friends dryclean, I get theirs.
I drop off my clothes, they ask me about stains (I usually mark the stains with a safety pin or tie some string around the area), they weigh it, I pay, and it is done in a day or two. Everything is always folded nicely, I never lose any socks, and it is much easier to put away. They also put some items on hangers but since I just throw out the metal ones I started to bring my own.
