A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a regular at Clintonville Coin Laundry found himself humming an old tune while folding clothes. ‘I bet that machine’s been here since the sixties,’ he muttered, pointing at a rusty dryer. And indeed, it seemed like no one could remember when exactly it had arrived. Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind the counter and said, 'That dryer's my pride and joy!' Turns out, it was his great-grandfather's antique gift to the community. The regular laughed and asked if he could borrow it for his next costume party—dressed as a vintage laundromat owner. Everyone ended up having a good laugh, and the dryer still hummed away, just like old times.
2. One day, while loading his clothes into Clintonville Coin Laundry, a delivery driver noticed something strange on the machine’s control panel: ‘Today is your lucky day—pick any coin slot for free wash!’ Excitedly, he inserted a quarter and pressed random buttons until finally, the washer started humming happily. As he left, a neighbor passing by asked curiously if it worked. With a big smile, our hero replied, 'Absolutely! And now I can afford to do my laundry every week!'
3. One morning, a little girl waiting for her dad at Clintonville Coin Laundry watched as the dryer doors opened and closed on their own. Suddenly, an old lady from next door popped in and exclaimed, ‘Why, that’s just Grandpa’s old dryers! They’ve been doing that since forever!’ Everyone laughed, and soon the little girl realized it was just another quirky thing about Clintonville Coin Laundry—nothing to worry about.
4. One afternoon, a little boy waited impatiently outside Clintonville Coin Laundry as his mom did the wash. Suddenly, he heard a strange clicking sound coming from inside—like someone dancing on coins. Curious, he crept closer and saw an old coin-operated jukebox playing its favorite tune. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic delivery driver enjoying a free spin. Moments later, everyone laughed when they realized why the machine had been ‘dancing’.
