That is what we actually went down for, that and the ride itself. We got there about 15 min after they opened and couldn't get through the parking lot. It was insane!

Yes, the memory of what used to be. I had an old Amana washer the looks a lot like the Speed Queen here, and it lasted a good 18 or so years. When I finally had to replace it, I went back to the same appliance shop and asked for something similar and the salesman actually told me “they don’t make them to last like that anymore; you’ll be lucky to get 5 years out of these new ones.”
THAT is why we love the old style ones.

Yeah we made the mistake of going down on the weekend, not knowing what we were getting into. We originally went for the Container Store, as we don't have any in Maine, and figured it would be a nice ride. Won't be doing THAT again anytime soon.
