About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular named Joe complained to the owner, Mr. Kim, ‘Why is my shirt always missing after I leave it here?’ Mr. Kim shrugged and replied, ‘Maybe your shirt went on vacation.’ A few days later, an irate delivery driver stormed in, yelling, 'My uniform's gone!' Mr. Kim calmly said, 'Your uniform probably joined your shirt for a weekend getaway.' Everyone burst out laughing, including the frustrated driver, who realized his sense of humor might be contagious.
2. At dawn, when most laundries are quiet, an old van pulled up outside College Park Laundry & Dry Cleaners. The delivery driver waved sleepily as he unloaded boxes of freshly pressed shirts and pants. But something was odd—none of the shirts had buttons. A neighbor passing by noticed the strange scene and stopped to help. Turns out, it was just a prank from a local college student who thought it would be funny to swap all the shirt buttons with safety pins. By noon, everyone was laughing, the shirts were buttoned back correctly, and College Park Laundry became known for its weekly ‘buttonless’ delivery days.
3. At midnight, when the city sleeps, a soft voice crackled over the store’s intercom: ‘Please return your clean clothes promptly or risk being featured on tonight’s local news.’ The next morning, a delivery driver arrived early and found his shirts neatly folded with a note: 'Your clothes are ready—please collect them before they appear on TV!' A few days later, an elderly neighbor stopped by, shaking her head and saying, “I guess you’ll be seeing yourself on the news soon!” And so, the legend of College Park Laundry continued, its gentle reminders ensuring that everyone returned their clean clothes on time.
4. One day, while folding freshly cleaned shirts, Maria found a strange note stuck inside one of them. It read: ‘Your dry cleaner has a secret admirer.’ Curious, she looked around but saw no one. Since then, every few weeks, another mysterious message appears in someone’s clothes. Finally, one day an old lady picked up her sweater and found a note saying, 'Wear me with pride, I’m your lucky charm!' Turned out it was just the owner’s granddaughter playing a prank. But ever since, customers joke that College Park Laundry brings more than just clean clothes—maybe even good luck too.
