About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed an old coin slot on the door of City Coin Laundry. He inserted a quarter and heard a familiar click. Inside, amidst the usual detergent bottles, he found a small brass plaque that read ‘Free Wishes Granted.’ Overjoyed, our regular started tossing in coins every day, making wishes left and right. One afternoon, a delivery driver mentioned hearing laughter from inside. Curious, she peeked through the window just as a neighbor emerged, rubbing his hands together and saying, 'Wish granted—no more laundry for a month!' The two shared a laugh, realizing they’d both been had by City Coin Laundry’s little prank.
2. At dawn, when most laundromats are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to City Coin Laundry with a truckload of fresh detergent. As he approached the entrance, he heard a faint humming sound coming from inside. Peering through the window, he saw an elderly gentleman vigorously shaking out clothes while dancing to an invisible tune. Upon closer inspection, the delivery driver noticed that the old man was humming along to some long-forgotten song from his youth. Smiling, he quietly unlocked the door and joined in the dance, both men laughing as they finished their chore together. Later, neighbors would tell tales of how every morning at dawn, two figures could be seen skipping down the street, singing ‘Twist and Shout’ while carrying damp laundry.
3. At dawn, when most laundromats are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to City Coin Laundry. He noticed a small sign taped to the window: ‘Free coffee for first customer every Monday.’ Curious, he entered and found the place empty except for one regular, who smiled and said, “Finally someone here early enough.” The regular nodded towards an old coin slot machine in the corner. "Wanna try your luck?" he asked with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery guy inserted a quarter, and out popped not just change but also a free bag of freshly baked cookies. 'Welcome to City Coin Laundry,' grinned the regular. 'Where even the machines know how to treat their customers right!'
4. At dawn, when most laundromats are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to City Coin Laundry with a truck full of fresh linens. As he approached the entrance, he noticed something odd—a small brass plaque reading ‘Free Coins for Honest People.’ Curious, he reached inside and found himself holding a handful of shiny quarters. Smiling, he decided to leave half the coins behind as an anonymous tip for honest people. From then on, whenever anyone needed change, they simply left a quarter in return—an unspoken tradition that made City Coin Laundry more than just a place to wash clothes.
