About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when most laundromats fall silent, Livia Laundromat came alive with strange noises. A regular noticed that every Thursday, around sunset, an old record player would start playing faintly from behind the closed door of the manager’s office. One day, a delivery driver heard the music and peeked inside, finding only an empty room and dusty records. Curious, he asked the manager who just shrugged and said, 'Oh, that's just my great-aunt's old collection.' The next Thursday evening, everyone gathered to listen—only for the song to end abruptly with ‘Laundry Day Blues’.
2. In the early morning, before anyone else stirred, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the lights in Livia Laundromat were on, even though it closed hours ago. Curious, he peeked inside and saw an old lady humming softly as she folded clothes with meticulous care. ‘Good morning,’ she said without turning around. ‘I stay here every night, watching over my machines like they’re my own children.’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and left, wondering if maybe Livia Laundromat was just a place where everyone found comfort after hours.
3. One foggy afternoon, while folding clothes in Livia Laundromat, a regular found an old coin slot on the counter. It looked like it belonged to some forgotten vending machine. Intrigued, he inserted a quarter and pressed a random button. Suddenly, a small compartment popped open, revealing a bag of freshly baked cookies! The regular smiled, thinking it was a lucky find until another customer complained that his socks had turned into tiny hats. Turns out, Livia Laundromat’s mysterious coin slot dispensed not just treats but also occasional fashion accessories.
4. At midnight, when the streets of Brooklyn fell asleep, a faint humming began to echo through Livia Laundromat. It grew louder with each spin cycle, like a thousand invisible dryers competing for volume. Suddenly, an old lady emerged from behind the machines, waving a broom and scolding in a thick accent: 'Shhhh! Can't you see I'm trying to sleep?' The humming stopped as quickly as it started, leaving only the sound of her muttering and the gentle rustle of clothes drying. A delivery driver whispered to his friend: 'I told ya, that place is haunted.'
