About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a truckload of fresh linens. As he unloaded, he noticed an old lady carefully placing coins into the coin slot on each machine. Curious, he asked why she was doing that. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, 'I’m helping Southern Spin stay open—without coins!' The delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘But ma’am, these are modern machines—they take cards!’ She winked and whispered, ‘Then maybe someone should teach them how to dance!’ And with a hearty laugh, she shuffled off, leaving behind a trail of giggling neighbors who had gathered to witness the exchange.
2. In the dead of night, when even the city slept, a delivery driver arrived at Southern Spin Laundry Co. with an unusual load—bags and bags of coins instead of clean linens. As he unloaded the mysterious cargo, a soft humming could be heard from inside the machine room. Curious, the driver peeked in and found a dozen neighborhood cats diligently sorting quarters into separate baskets. A regular nodded knowingly, ‘They’ve been doing that for years—keeps the rodents away and saves us all a trip to the laundromat.’
3. A little girl walked into Southern Spin Laundry Co., holding her mom’s hand and pointing excitedly. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘look at that coin!’ But there were no coins—just empty slots on the old machines. Her mother smiled, gently explaining that it was a new kind of laundry place where you didn’t need coins anymore. The little girl nodded wisely, then turned around and said to her neighbor waiting outside, ‘See, Mommy told me so!’ — much to everyone’s amusement.
4. A delivery driver arrived late one afternoon with a truck full of colorful detergent bottles. Among them, nestled in plain sight on the front seat, was an old, dusty harmonica. The owner picked up the harmonica curiously and started humming along to some old tune. Before long, everyone in the store joined in—a regular singing laundry service! From then on, Southern Spin became known not just for clean clothes but also for its weekly impromptu jam sessions.
