Shirts: Washing Machine and, if necessary, an iron.
We do not need a dry cleaners "on every corner" like in New York. This is NOT New York - nor, are we going to become New York!
Thank God!

Well, you can't get crisp shirts out of the dryer, Greatday! I wouldn't iron them, either!  Luckily, my exes weren’t that fancy.

They obviously did not like you enough to let you see the illegal operation they had going on!
As far as having one of these on every corner. Sparklecleaners.com lists 15 stores in Tucson, and thats just ONE company!
Dry Cleaners (Results 1 - 45 of 94)*~*Dry Cleaners Tucson AZ*~*Simple Search ~ SuperPages.com: Yellow Pages
Has 94 listings matching "Dry cleaners" in the Tucson area. More than enough if you ask me!

Pick up at DMAFB? Yourself? Ain't never hearda no sucha thing, JJBB! How rude! Tell them you're going elsewhere!
Very good cleaners at Speedway and Pantano, at the Fry's Shopping center. Pick up your stuff same day after 4pm if clothes go in before 9am! For some reason they call themselves Park Avenue Cleaners, but they ain't on Park Ave!
Park Avenue Cleaners

Sure you can: Spray Fabric Finish or Spray Starch. Then iron. Ironing is easy -
And, I have to wear very crisp dress shirts frequently - with a tie - during the summer!

I didn't say I couldn't; I said I wouldn't.  If the cost is really $1.25/shirt, a few bucks a week spent on something like this are well spent in my book. Heck, that's a little more than a Starbucks concoction!

ZP, in case you don't know, there are new Starbucks ice creams on the market. I just tried Caramel Macchiato - as yummy as the concoction!

Z, don't make me wash that mouth out with soap.
No one should ever be forced to drink Starbucks. I'm sure there's better coffee here somewhere. Heck and shoot, come to my house - I make better coffee than that.
