Unusual, but sheer genius.

Nashville has a Pub and Laundry combined down near Vandy.

The bar back is a series of numbered light bulbs that correspond to your washer/dryer number.

Bar and beauty shop combo. If the beauty shop doesn't get it quite right, stay at the bar a little longer and they get better looking the longer you stay.

Those are good ones.Tim the laundry/bar combination isn't that uncommon,especially in college towns.

They are dangerous.
I was there on business for a month and went to that place to do laundry and get out of the hotel.
I got back to the hotel after a day of watching Nascar and realized I had left my laundry.

We've got a place like that in San Francisco called 'BrainWash.' Great idea, what's not to love?

Tim,

while your story indicates you might not remember the name of the joint... it's called Duds N Suds (or at least it was back in the 80's). Been there before, but that was a long long long long long time ago.

Not a combination per se, but the funniest thing I have seen in the town I work in:

A strip mall with a sushi restaurant right next door to a bait shop.

Here in suburban Minneapolis I know where there is a Chinese restaurant next door to a kennel where you leave your dog or cat when you go on vacation.

In Miami, we had a sushi restaurant next to an aquarium place.

I always had the idea to open a gynecologist/dog groomer. Call it "Poochies and Coochies."
