Parkway Car Wash

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was waiting for his turn, he noticed something peculiar on the car wash conveyor belt—a small, handwritten sign reading ‘Wash Me Last.’ Curious, he shrugged and continued with his day. But every subsequent visit brought more mysterious signs: 'Rinse Me First,' 'Dry Me Third.' It seemed like someone was leaving cryptic messages, but no one ever claimed responsibility. Finally, one day, an old man appeared at the car wash wearing a tattered overcoat and holding a weathered umbrella. He approached the delivery driver and whispered, 'I’ve been watching you. These weren’t signs—just my way of saying thank you for noticing me.' Turns out, it was just an eccentric neighbor who loved seeing people smile.

2. One afternoon, as a delivery driver waited for his car to be washed, he spotted an old, dusty violin propped against the wall in the corner. Curious, he picked it up and gave it a gentle strum—only to hear a soft, haunting melody that seemed to come from nowhere. The tune was so enchanting that soon other customers joined in, humming along or tapping their feet. Before long, the entire parkway was filled with laughter and music. As the delivery driver finished washing his car, he realized the violin wasn’t just any instrument—it played whatever song people wanted to hear, making Parkway Car Wash the best place for both clean cars and happy hearts.

3. One day, an old man walked into the Parkway Car Wash and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see anything strange around here?’ The attendant shrugged, curious but nonchalant. ‘Not really,’ they replied. Little did either know that from then on, every full moon, a mysterious figure would emerge from the shadows of the parking lot.’ On one particularly foggy night, a delivery driver mentioned seeing the figure waving from behind the hose. Thinking it was just an old prank, everyone ignored him until…the next full moon when the whole crew gathered to watch a neighbour washing his car with eerie precision. Turned out, he’d been practicing for decades in secret! The end result? Cleanest cars in town.

4. One Saturday morning, while a little girl watched her dad’s car being cleaned, she giggled when a squirrel scurried across the wet pavement, leaving tiny footprints behind. Just then, an old delivery driver walked in, soaking wet from head to toe. ‘What happened?’ someone asked. He shrugged and said, 'I was washing my truck outside, and that same squirrel decided to take a swim!’ Everyone laughed as he shook water off his hat.
