About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed an old, dusty hat sitting on top of the dryer in Corrales Laundromat. It wasn’t there yesterday, and no one seemed to claim it. A few days later, another customer found an old glove on the floor. ‘Who lost their cowboy?’ someone joked. Then, out popped the hat’s owner—a friendly delivery driver who’d been too embarrassed to come forward earlier. The whole place erupted in laughter as they claimed their belongings, and from then on, everyone knew Corrales Laundromat was where you could find more than just clean clothes.
2. A regular was folding clothes when he heard a strange noise coming from behind the counter. Curious, he walked over and found an ancient coin stuck in one of the dryer vents. The regular carefully removed the coin, only to discover it was rusted beyond recognition. He shrugged, popped it into his pocket, and went back to folding clothes. Later that day, while drying some towels for a neighbor, the coin fell out and got tangled in a towel’s hem. When the neighbor picked up her freshly dried towel, she exclaimed, ‘What a cute little purse!’
3. One day, while sorting laundry, a regular asked aloud, ‘Who’s been leaving these mysterious socks?’ Suddenly, an old delivery driver poked his head out and said, 'Me? I’ve been stealing them for my cat's new sock collection!' Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just another Corrales Laundromat mystery solved.
4. One afternoon, a regular was loading his laundry into the dryer when he noticed something odd in the corner of the room. Among the usual detergent bottles and fabric softener sheets lay a small, brightly colored toy truck. Curious, he picked it up and found that it had been left there by another customer earlier that day. Smiling, he decided to keep it as a little surprise for the person who would come back later. When the owner discovered the toy, she laughed and said, ‘We’ve had stranger things here!’
