Laundry

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Laundry lights flickered off, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every Tuesday, a small dog would appear from under the dryer and bark insistently until someone opened the door. Finally, curious neighbors decided to investigate. Turned out, it was just a friendly little pug who loved playing hide-and-seek in the laundry room. On Wednesdays, he’d return with a basket of freshly folded towels as his ‘thank-you’ gift.

2. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver found an old, dusty coin tucked into the corner of the Laundry’s loading dock. The delivery driver picked it up, puzzled but curious. On closer inspection, he saw that it was an antique Russian kopeck from the late 19th century. Word spread quickly among the staff, and soon everyone in Laundry was talking about it. The next day, a neighbor dropped off another old coin—this time, a Canadian penny from 1910. It turned out to be an annual tradition: someone anonymously leaves an old coin every New Year's Eve.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes into Laundry’s dimly lit hallway, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the machines. Curious, he peered through the glass door and saw nothing but spinning clothes—until a familiar voice called out: ‘Could you pass that basket over?’ The delivery driver froze for a moment, then smiled sheepishly and asked, 'Are you lost, ma’am?' The voice replied cheerfully, 'No, just waiting for my whites!' Turned out it was an elderly neighbor who lived above the laundromat, using the machines late at night to catch up on her favorite soap opera.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes into Laundry’s dimly lit hallway, he heard a soft humming coming from inside one of the washing machines. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old lady wringing out her socks with a smile on her face. ‘I always thought these machines were magic,’ she said. The delivery driver laughed and helped her carry her laundry upstairs—turns out, some things never change.’
