About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty coin jar on Brock’s Laundry Mat counter. He picked it up curiously and found himself staring into a small mirror with a peculiar note: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ The delivery driver took a penny, did his errand, and left. Months later, he returned for another delivery, only to find everyone in line paying with ancient coins. It turned out that every customer who used the mysterious jar ended up with change from eras gone by—perfect for buying coffee or snacks! The legend of Brock's Laundry Mat became legendary among locals as a place where time seemed to fold back upon itself.

2. One day, as customers were folding their clothes in Brock's Laundry Mat, an unexpected voice came over the intercom: 'Attention everyone—if you see a small, green sock wandering around, please return it to the lost and found.' Soon enough, everyone started laughing when they saw a grumpy-looking old sock, clearly not enjoying his adventure. Finally, one brave customer approached him and asked, ‘Hey little guy, are you lost?’ The sock looked up with big, round eyes and said, ‘No, I’m just on vacation from my owner’s drawer.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was probably a prank from some clever delivery driver or neighbor. Since then, whenever someone mentions Brock’s Laundry Mat, people smile and recall that funny green sock.

3. On a particularly foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Brock’s Laundry Mat. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a faint humming coming from inside—something that didn’t sound quite like any washing machine tune. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man dancing around a single washer, singing off-key. 'That’s Mr. Jenkins,' someone whispered. The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and thought, ‘Another day in paradise.’

4. One afternoon, while loading laundry baskets into Brock’s Laundry Mat, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar—a small, rusted keychain dangling from one of the metal shelves. Curious, he picked it up and found an old-fashioned key attached to it. That night, after closing, he decided to try it on his own house—much to everyone's surprise, it fit perfectly! Turns out, Brock had accidentally left it behind years ago when moving here from another town.
