About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange as he pulled into The Wash Tub. His dog, usually distracted by birds and squirrels, suddenly perked up and stared intently at the ceiling of the tunnel. Curious, he looked too—and saw a faint reflection of himself smiling back. Another day, another customer—a delivery driver—wondered why his coffee kept getting cold mid-wash. It turned out that every time his cup hit the conveyor belt, it would briefly reflect the image of an impatient manager yelling ‘HURRY UP!’ Finally, everyone agreed that The Wash Tub had become more than just a car wash—it was a place where everyone’s inner frustrations got accidentally projected onto their vehicles.
2. At night, after closing, a delivery driver heard an odd voice over The Wash Tub’s intercom: ‘Wash your troubles away—just one dollar.’ Curious, he dropped in a coin and watched as the brushes formed a smiley face on his windshield. Intrigued, the delivery driver tried again, this time drawing a heart. Next morning, parked outside was a bouquet of roses with a note: 'Thanks for stopping by!' Turned out it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster having fun with the lonely old car wash.
3. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver parked at The Wash Tub to freshen up his truck. As he stepped inside, he swore he saw a shadowy figure wiping down cars with invisible cloths. Curious, he followed the ghostly form into an empty bay. There, leaning against the wall, stood an old rag and a bucket filled with nothing but air. ‘Hey,’ said the delivery driver, smiling. ‘You’re using some pretty fancy cleaning supplies here.’ With that, the shadowy figure turned around—revealing himself to be just another neighbor waiting for his car to dry.
4. One day, while waiting for his car to dry at The Wash Tub, a delivery driver noticed a mysterious sign above the exit: ‘Wash your troubles away—ask about our special “Lucky Clean”!’ Curious, he asked about it and was told that on Wednesdays, the Lucky Clean included a free lucky charm—a tiny plastic rabbit’s foot. Soon enough, everyone in town started visiting The Wash Tub on Wednesdays, hoping their cars would be washed not just clean but also lucky. And who knew? Maybe that’s why the traffic lights always seemed to turn green quicker after leaving there.
