American (but not very american) Laundry
The "American Laundry" also called "Under the Balloon," at Hybešova 45 in Brno, Czech Republic. I found the laundry in early September, but it was too late to use it. The place closed as of 1 August 2006. There were a few fun signs left on the windows, however.
The window's balloons are a tribute to hot-air balloons, although that doesn't completely explain all the signs in the window. They also claim to have free internet and even wireless. There sure is a lot of advertising for coffee considering that this is supposed to be a bar (I don't think an American "bar" would offer many specialty coffee drinks).
There is also a message board for those of us trying to learn Czech. I'm not sure, but this one seemed a bit of a tall order. No Boring Textbooks? Wonderfully clever? Chris, you forgot good looking and wealthy. I was tempted to affect a Czech accent and call the number (perhaps Chris is good looking and wealthy); unfortunately, I the textbooks I have are all dull, boring, and work intensive.

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.
