About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, as a regular was folding clothes in Rose Park Coin Laundry, he heard someone whisper: 'Did you see that quarter float?' Curious, our regular looked up and saw nothing but empty coin slots. Suddenly, a delivery driver passing by shouted, ‘Hey, I just saw your shirt levitate!’ Turns out, it was just static electricity from those old machines. Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghosts, someone always said, “Must’ve been those electrically charged quarters again!”
2. A little girl, holding her mom’s hand, suddenly stopped mid-stride and pointed excitedly. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘look!’ A regular was feeding quarters into the coin laundry machines while humming an old folk song, completely oblivious to everything around him. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked up, dropped off his package, and asked the man, ‘Excuse me, sir? Is that “Over the River” you’re singing?’ The regular nodded absently. The little girl giggled and said, ‘He does that every Tuesday.’
3. One day, while sorting laundry in Rose Park Coin Laundry, a regular noticed something odd on one of the shirts. Curious, he picked it up—and found himself staring into the eyes of an adorable button-eyed teddy bear embroidered right onto the fabric. Turns out, the shirt belonged to a delivery driver who accidentally left it there days ago. The bear’s bright smile became a daily sight for everyone, and soon enough, customers started bringing their own clothes ‘for the bear.’ It wasn’t long before Rose Park Coin Laundry gained a quirky reputation as the place where your laundry might come back with a little friend.
4. While sorting through damp towels in Rose Park Coin Laundry, an older gentleman kept hearing faint whispers from behind the dryer. Curious, he turned around—and there, amidst the tumble-dried clothes, stood a small, mischievous-looking sock with twinkling eyes. The sock smiled slyly and whispered, ‘I’m just here for some spin time!’ Before the man could react, it ducked back into the dryer and disappeared among the shirts. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the laundromat, they’d say, “Oh, you mean Rose Park? Yeah, that’s where socks go to party!”
