>>At my old place in Somerville, MA (not exactly a cheap place to live), $100 would be four large hampers full of laundry and my shirts would be pressed.

Was the before, or after the 10% Tufts discount though? If you're below 35, you gotta pretend you forgot your ID, and take that sweet sweet discount. Same for the Sushi place that's right next to the Tufts-discount laundry place.

In other (totally irrelevant) news from current-Somerviller to (past?) Somerviller: area around Davis has gotten almost on par with Harvard Square prices (in terms of rent). Things are crazy around here!

You're thinking of the place in Powder House Square, but they don't do pickup. (Also, Yoshi's was a regular lunch spot when I worked from home.) Teele Square Laundromat does pickup/delivery and was my go-to. I wouldn't have used the discount anyway, though; I don't need ten percent off and they work much harder than I do.

Somerville's prices are disgusting, as is most of the area--I just moved to Malden, where I've got a really nice 2BR that isn't in a falling-apart house for about two-thirds of what I'd have paid in Somerville or Cambridge. And I'm actually a touch closer to downtown Boston for when I want to go out...I thought I'd be sacrificing something I cared about to move here, but nope.
