Car Wash

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Car Wash on Main Street, something strange started happening one rainy afternoon. 'Hey, look!' said a delivery driver, pointing at the ceiling as water dripped in perfect circles, like someone was drawing with drops of rain. 'It’s almost like it knows when to stop,' he laughed. Soon enough, everyone in town came to see the magical Car Wash. A little old lady even brought her umbrella and sat outside, waiting for just the right moment to catch a drop mid-drip. When asked why she did that, she smiled and said, ‘Just in case it decides to paint me a picture!’ And that’s how the legend of the self-portrait-car-wash was born.

2. At the Car Wash on Sunset Boulevard, a delivery driver once asked aloud: ‘Why does my soda always taste like soap?’ It turned out that his truck had an old bottle of window cleaner in the back, which kept leaking into the cup holder. A regular customer overheard him and joked, 'Maybe you should try washing your windows with something else next time!' The whole place burst out laughing, and from then on, everyone at the Car Wash knew to check their cargo before ordering lunch.

3. At the Car Wash in Old Town, a little boy stood mesmerized as the soap bubbles formed intricate shapes above him. His mother called out, but he didn’t move until an especially large bubble floated right into his hair. The boy’s mom laughed and gently pulled the bubble free, causing it to pop with a soft puff of air. ‘See,’ she said, ‘nothing to be afraid of.’ The boy smiled sheepishly, then ran over to join some friends playing nearby. A delivery driver passing by shook his head and muttered, ‘Kids these days, always chasing after those darn bubbles!’

4. At the Car Wash on Riverside Drive, a delivery driver once noticed an oddly familiar box among the brushes and sponges. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover a vintage jigsaw puzzle of the very building itself. Intrigued, the driver assembled the puzzle during his break. To his surprise, one piece was missing—a crucial corner that showed the exact spot where the Car Wash’s cash register should be. Smiling, he thought, ‘So THAT’S how they keep their prices so low!’
