About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Riverpoint Coin Laundry one morning, noticing something odd on the loading dock—a small, dusty box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he picked it up and found an ancient coin inside, dated long before the building’s construction. The delivery driver showed the coin to a regular customer who happened to be a history buff. ‘That’s no ordinary coin,’ he exclaimed, ‘it looks like a Roman denarius from the third century!’ Soon, everyone in town was talking about the mysterious coin. Even the laundromat’s owner started charging extra for “historic” loads. But when a neighbor accidentally washed it with some jeans, it vanished without a trace—leaving only a faint mustard stain on the coin’s label that read: “Cleaned Here.”

2. One day, as a delivery driver pulled up to Riverpoint Coin Laundry, he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your clothes are now being washed by the world’s slowest dryer!’ The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one else in sight. He shrugged it off and went inside, only to find his packages slowly tumbling down a conveyor belt like they were made of glass. A neighbor passing by chuckled, saying, 'That’s just how they dry here—with infinite patience.'

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Riverpoint Coin Laundry and froze mid-step. The air was heavy with an unfamiliar scent—a mix of citrus and old coins—wafting from inside. Curious, he cracked open the door just enough for a peek. Inside, amidst the hum of machines, stood a grinning neighbor folding clothes in slow motion. ‘Hey,’ said the neighbor without turning around, ‘did you know they deliver freshly laundered sheets here every Thursday?’ The delivery driver blinked, then laughed, realizing it had been his own neighbor’s prank all along.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Riverpoint Coin Laundry and froze. In the dim light of the parking lot, he noticed an old coin slot machine sitting in an abandoned shopping cart. Curious, he approached it, thinking maybe someone had forgotten their change. As he reached for the handle, the machine whirred to life with a ding! A neon sign above flickered on, reading ‘Lucky Spin.’ The delivery driver laughed nervously, spun the wheel—and watched as quarters poured out like magic. Turned out it was just an old practical joke from a neighbor, but that night, everyone called him lucky.
