About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when the Express Car Wash was supposed to be empty, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I bet no one will notice if I take just one quick swipe with that towel.’ Just as he reached for the towel, an old vacuum cleaner sprang to life behind him, blasting dust everywhere. Startled, he dropped both the towel and his pride, turning around to see an amused security guard waving from the control booth. 'Welcome to the midnight express,' the guard grinned.
2. One morning, while waiting for his car to dry, a regular noticed something odd on the floor of the Express Car Wash. ‘Hey!’ he called out. ‘Who left their lucky penny here?’ A delivery driver bent down to pick it up and said, 'Lucky penny? More like lucky donut!' Turns out, someone had dropped their breakfast treat along with their change. Everyone laughed, and the penny became an excuse for free coffee.
3. Late one night, as the Express Car Wash hummed its usual tune, a strange whistling sound pierced the air. No one could remember hearing it before. Curious employees peered around, but the noise vanished as quickly as it came. Soon after, an old man in a trench coat approached the counter and asked for a quick wash. When his car emerged squeaky clean, everyone noticed he was whistling that same eerie tune—only now they joined in, realizing it was just an old folk song from his hometown.
4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to the Express Car Wash. The place usually quietened down after midnight, but today it seemed… too silent. As he approached the entrance, the delivery driver noticed an old broom leaning against the wall. With a smile, he picked it up and started wiping off his truck’s windshield. Suddenly, from behind him came a voice: ‘Hey, what do you think you’re doing?’ It was the owner, who’d been watching from his office window. Turns out, that broom was for show only—no one had actually cleaned cars there in months!'
