On this day in history, April 18, 1934, first self-operated ‘washateria’ opens in Fort Worth, Texas
Few people today would consider going to a laundromat a luxury.
But before the first laundromat — or “washateria,” as it was called back then — was created in the 1930s, that is exactly how the launch of automated laundry was viewed by many.
On this day in history, April 18, 1934, the first “washateria” opened in Fort Worth, Texas, it is presumed, as created by a man named C.A. Tannahill.
The “true history of laundromats” begins during the Great Depression, writes the Laundry Solutions Company on its website.
“The first laundromat, which was known at the time as a ‘Wash-a-teria,’ opened” in Fort Worth, it adds, “in the 1930s.”
“Customers loved the self-service format of the store, and soon laundromats were exploding in popularity and popping up all over the country,” it says.
The first “washateria,” however, was far from a grand affair, according to various accounts.
It consisted of just four electric washing machines — which were rented out to members of the public on an hourly basis, according to RetroNewser.
“He charged people by the hour to clean their clothes.”
“The electric-powered washing machine, invented in 1908, was a great time- and sweat-saving device,” notes CoinWash.com — but there was a catch.
The device was available only to “those who could afford it and [who] had regular electricity.”
Many in the Fort Worth community apparently did not fit that description.
So, in 1934, Tannahill bought four electric washing machines and installed them in the same building.

And “he charged people by the hour to clean their clothes,” the story goes.
These very early laundromats did not have dryers, for the most part — so customers would wash their clothes, then cart the wet, heavy items “back home to hang them on the line,” according to hammerapp.com, a laundry and dry cleaning service.
The name “washateria” came about as a combo of the idea of washing clothes with the idea of cheap, affordable cafeterias where many people got their meals, it also says.
The early facilities were not coin-operated — “and there was always an attendant on duty,” points out the Bronx Chronicle.

“By the late 1940s, the first unattended, 24-hour laundromats were opened.”
Today, most laundromats in the U.S. are fully automated, coin-operated and largely unstaffed — and many are open 24 hours a day.
“By the late 1940s, the first unattended, 24-hour laundromats were opened.”
Earlier figures of a few years ago cited by the United States Census Bureau put the estimated number of laundromats of this style in the U.S. at 11,000.
IbisWorld put the market size, measured by revenue, of the U.S. laundromat industry at over $6 billion in 2023 (as of Nov. 2023).

Today, however, the increase in utility costs has caused companies to leave the industry, according to the same source.

The market size of the laundromat industry in the U.S. declined 1.4% per year on average between 2018 and 2023, says IbisWorld.
It also says that laundromat sales have struggled because of increased competition, rising utility costs and changing consumer habits.

Is Texas a Good Place to Live: Explore the Cost, Jobs & Lifestyle
The Lone Star State, with its vast landscapes, vibrant cities, and rich cultural tapestry, has long been a destination for those seeking new opportunities and a distinct way of life. But is Texas truly a good place to live? This question is subjective, and the answer depends on individual preferences and priorities. However, by examining various factors such as the cost of living, quality of education, economic opportunities, and cultural experiences, here’s an overview of what life in Texas has to offer.
Is Texas a Good Place to Live: Let’s Explore
Cost of Living
One of the most appealing aspects of Texas is its relatively low cost of living. Housing expenses in Texas are approximately 16% lower than the national average. This affordability extends to other areas as well, such as groceries and utilities, allowing residents to enjoy a higher quality of life without the financial strain experienced in more expensive states.
Economic Opportunities
Texas boasts a robust economy, driven by industries such as energy, technology, and healthcare. The state’s pro-business environment, characterized by low taxes and regulatory policies, encourages entrepreneurship and investment. This economic climate has led to job growth and has made Texas an attractive place for professionals and businesses alike.
Education
Education in Texas presents a mixed picture. While there are excellent educational institutions and innovative programs, the state faces challenges in public education funding and performance. It’s important for potential residents to research and consider the educational options and resources available in their specific area of interest within Texas.
Cultural Diversity and Experiences
Texas is a melting pot of cultures, which is reflected in its food, music, and festivals. Cities like Houston and San Antonio are known for their diverse populations and rich cultural scenes. From the live music capital of the world in Austin to the historical significance of the Alamo, Texas offers a variety of experiences that cater to a wide range of interests.
Quality of Life
Residents often cite the friendly community atmosphere and the “southern charm” as significant factors contributing to the quality of life in Texas. The state’s warm climate allows for year-round outdoor activities, enhancing the overall lifestyle of its inhabitants.
Healthcare in Texas
Healthcare is a crucial consideration for anyone looking to relocate. Texas has a large and diverse healthcare system, with some of the country’s leading hospitals and research institutions, such as the Texas Medical Center in Houston. However, it’s worth noting that Texas has one of the highest uninsured rates in the nation, which could be a concern for residents seeking affordable healthcare options.
Transportation and Infrastructure
Texas is vast, and getting around can be a challenge without a car. The state is known for its well-maintained highways, but public transportation options are limited, especially in rural areas. For those living in metropolitan areas like Dallas or Houston, there are more options, including buses and light rail systems.
Natural Environment and Climate
The natural environment in Texas is incredibly diverse, ranging from deserts and scrublands to lush forests and coastal regions. This diversity offers a variety of outdoor recreational activities. However, the climate can be extreme, with hot summers and the potential for severe weather, including tornadoes and hurricanes.
Social and Political Climate
Texas is known for its strong sense of state pride and independence, which is reflected in its social and political climate. The state has a conservative reputation, but its cities are often more progressive. This dynamic can create a complex social environment, which may be appealing to some and less so to others.
Real Estate and Housing
The real estate market in Texas has been booming, with an influx of new residents driving demand. This growth has led to a rise in property values, making it an opportune time for homeownership. However, potential buyers should be aware of the property taxes in Texas, which are higher than in some other states.
Retirement in Texas
For retirees, Texas offers several advantages, such as no state income tax and a lower cost of living compared to other retirement hotspots. The state also has numerous retirement communities and healthcare facilities catering to the needs of older adults.
Education and Career Opportunities for Young Adults
For young adults, Texas presents a landscape rich with educational and career opportunities. The state is home to several top-ranking universities and a thriving job market, especially in tech hubs like Austin. The vibrant social scene and cultural amenities also make it an attractive place for young professionals.
Challenges
Despite the many positives, Texas is not without its challenges. The state has faced criticism for its political climate and social policies, which may not align with everyone’s views. Additionally, natural disasters such as hurricanes and extreme weather conditions can pose risks to residents.
Final Thoughts
Deciding whether Texas is a good place to live involves weighing the pros and cons in the context of personal circumstances and preferences. Texas can be a good place to live for those who value a lower cost of living, economic growth, and cultural diversity. It’s a state that offers much in terms of opportunity, diversity, and lifestyle, but it also has its challenges.
In summary, Texas is as multifaceted as it is vast, with each city and region offering its own unique advantages and challenges. For some, the Texan lifestyle offers a perfect blend of opportunity and community, while for others, the drawbacks may outweigh the benefits. Ultimately, Texas is a state with a personality as big as its geography, and it continues to draw people from all walks of life seeking to call it home.
As with any major life decision, it’s essential to visit and experience the state firsthand, engage with its communities, and conduct thorough research before making the move. Texas awaits with open arms and a spirit as grand as its skies, ready to welcome those who choose to embrace its charm.
