About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular at Best Way Cleaners noticed something strange one day: every time he dropped off his shirts, they came back with perfect creases—and his own initials embroidered in invisible ink. One day a delivery driver joked that maybe the owner was using his shirts as practice for tailoring suits. The regular laughed it off until he received a suit that fit him like a glove—with his wife’s initials on the inside seam. Ever since then, everyone drops their clothes off together, just to see what story the cleaner will come up with next.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Best Way Cleaners and noticed an odd sound coming from inside. It was like someone humming an old folk song, but in perfect pitch and volume—loud enough for everyone on the block to hear. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an elderly gentleman folding clothes with such grace that it looked like a dance. The humming continued as neighbors stopped by to watch, smiling and nodding along. Turns out, it was just Mr. Jenkins, the best-folded-shirt expert around these parts, enjoying his morning routine.

3. One night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Best Way Cleaners and noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside. As he approached the door, the smell of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air—an unexpected aroma for a dry cleaner. Curious, he opened the door slightly—and found himself face-to-face with an old lady humming softly while folding clothes in perfect rows. ‘Oh hello!’ she said brightly, not even noticing him. ‘Would you like some more cookies?’ The delivery driver blinked, took a cookie, and promptly forgot why he’d come here in the first place.’

4. One afternoon, a neighbor passing by Best Way Cleaners asked curiously: ‘Why does that dry cleaner’s door always seem to open on its own?’ The owner smiled and replied, 'Oh, that's just our special door mechanism.' A delivery driver then chimed in, 'Actually, I saw it was Mr. Johnson from across the street who keeps pushing the button!' Everyone laughed, realizing the door had been opening because of a friendly neighborhood prank.
