Buckner Wash n Dry

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the laundry cart area. Among the usual socks and shirts lay an old, dusty coin collection, seemingly abandoned. Curious, he picked it up and found that each coin had a special note attached—‘To whoever finds me, please return to Buckner Wash n’ Dry.’ Turned out, an elderly neighbor had accidentally left his treasure behind while dropping off clothes for washing. From then on, whenever someone saw the delivery driver smiling broadly, they’d whisper, ‘He must’ve found another lost coin collection!’

2. One day, a little girl followed her mom into Buckner’s laundromat. As she played with coins on the counter, an old quarter started spinning on its own and made a tiny whirring sound. Suddenly, everyone in the laundromat stopped what they were doing to watch the coin spin. The little girl giggled as it went round and round, creating a miniature orchestra of tinkles. Finally, after a few minutes, the quarter slowed down and fell onto the counter with a gentle clunk. No one could believe their eyes—except maybe the delivery driver who swore he’d seen that same quarter earlier that morning.

3. In the early hours of dawn, when most laundromats are quiet and empty, an unusual sight caught the eye of a delivery driver. In one of the dryer compartments, a pile of clothes seemed to dance to its own rhythm. Curious, he approached closer, realizing with a smile that it was just a pair of his neighbor’s socks playing their favorite tune. The driver chuckled, deciding not to mention anything, lest he become known as the guy who saw talking socks.

4. One night, while folding clothes late at Buckner’s, a regular overheard someone whispering from behind the dryers. ‘Who said that?’ he called out, but no one answered. Suddenly, an old sock popped out from under the dryer and danced across the floor, winking mischievously. The regular laughed so hard he dropped his pants full of shirts. Turns out it was just a prank by the friendly neighborhood delivery driver.
