About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular asked the attendant, ‘Why does my shirt always come out cleaner than when I put it in?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Because your shirt comes here voluntarily every time!’ The regular laughed, realizing the joke was on him, but still came back for clean shirts.
2. At dawn, when most laundromats are empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The dryer doors seemed to open and close on their own, as if someone were secretly sorting clothes in the middle of the night. Curious, he peeked inside but saw only an old teddy bear wobbling back and forth. Turns out, it was just the bear his neighbor had left there for laundry day. The driver laughed, realizing that maybe some nights, even teddies like to do their own laundry too.
3. At dawn, when most laundromats were quiet, a delivery driver noticed an old coin slot on the wall of Action Laundry. Inserting a quarter, he heard a faint click and saw the lights flicker. Curious, he returned later with a bag of quarters—only to discover that each coin added a new song to the background music. Soon enough, other neighbors started noticing the changing tunes. A retiree joined in, bringing his own coins and favorite records. Before long, Action Laundry became more than just a laundromat—it was a community hub where everyone gathered to chat, listen, and even dance while their clothes dried. The delivery driver, now known as ‘the DJ,’ proudly announced: 'Welcome to Action Laundry—where your quarters turn into hits!'
4. At closing time one night, a regular asked the attendant, ‘Why do I never see anyone else’s clothes here?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Because your clothes are too smart for everyone else’s! They always get picked up first.’ The regular laughed, shook his head, and left, thinking maybe it was time to downsize his wardrobe.
