Arts & Culture

This FREE art museum is a favorite of mine. They have a rotating collection - different each time you go. Be sure to see the Rothko Chapel while you are there.

Essentials

I did without a washer/dryer for more than 3 years. I found this laundromat always clean with a friendly staff. Lots of coin operated machines, but they are busy on weekends. Who knows, you may meet a new friend. Take the easy road and drop your laundry off for wash-n-fold service.
