About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most laundromats are quiet, Parmer Laundromat hummed with an unusual activity. A delivery driver arrived early, claiming he’d been sent there by mistake. But no one else seemed to notice him—or even care. As the sun rose higher, a neighbor popped in for his usual load of clothes. He noticed the driver and asked what was going on. The driver shrugged and said, 'I guess I’m here to dry clean some shirts.' The neighbor nodded knowingly, paid for his wash, and left—never mentioning it again.
2. At midnight, when most laundromats sleep, Parmer Laundromat lit up like a party. Someone had left the radio on full blast, filling the air with old-time jazz and laughter. Suddenly, an old man in a tweed jacket appeared, waving his hands to the music. A delivery driver tried to carry his package past him, but ended up dancing along. The next morning, everyone found out that the radio was just an old clock radio left there by a neighbor who loved jazz parties—except nobody could agree whose it was.
3. At dusk, when most laundromats close their doors, Parmer Laundromat’s neon sign flickered on, casting eerie shadows across the street. A delivery driver noticed it first—an odd, rhythmic clicking sound coming from inside, as if someone were counting coins in the dead of night. Curious, the delivery driver peered through the window and saw an old man, hunched over a pile of quarters, muttering something about ‘lost change.’ Turns out, he was just sorting his coin collection. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood stopped by with their loose change, thinking they’d found a treasure trove. Parmer Laundromat became known for its weekly coin drives—and no one ever forgot to bring their laundry.
4. At closing time, when most laundromats turn off their lights, someone started leaving a single red sock in Parmer Laundromat's dryer. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about it—even the delivery drivers and neighbors stopped by just to see what color would appear next. Eventually, an old lady came in one day and asked the owner, ‘Why don’t you just put all those socks together?’ The owner smiled and replied, ‘Because then no one would come here anymore!’
