About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Parker Cleaners closed its doors, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift out from behind the old brick walls. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking maybe an appliance was malfunctioning. But no one else could hear it until late one evening, when a regular passing by stopped in his tracks. Finally, someone went inside and found nothing but empty shelves and dusty machines. The humming turned out to be just an old fan in the basement, forgotten long ago. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Parker Cleaners, they’d laugh and say, ‘That place is haunted…by static electricity!’
2. One day, a delivery driver joked to his friend, ‘I swear, every time I leave my truck here overnight, it’s cleaner in the morning.’ Soon enough, word got around town that Parker Cleaners had magical powers. A neighbor quipped, 'Leave your dirtiest clothes there, and they’ll come back fresher than when you were a kid!' Eventually, one curious delivery driver decided to test it himself—leaving his filthy work uniform behind. Next morning, he found it sparkling clean, not just washed but ironed too! Moral of the story? Trust Parker Cleaners, even if they’re just a regular old laundry.
3. One morning, as a little girl walked past Parker Cleaners on her way to school, she stopped in surprise. The clothes hanging outside on the line seemed to wave back at her, wiggling and twisting in perfect unison. Curious, she approached closer. Suddenly, one shirt waved so enthusiastically it landed right on her head, covering her eyes. Laughing, she tried to remove it but only managed to knock over an entire basket of freshly cleaned socks. A neighbor passing by asked if everything was okay—she nodded, still giggling, while trying to herd the socks back into place.
4. In the early hours of dawn, someone kept leaving perfect circles in the parking lot outside Parker Cleaners. Each circle was made from tiny, perfectly folded pieces of fabric—like miniature flags or flags that had never been flown. Finally, one night a delivery driver noticed an old lady waving from her window across the street. She was meticulously folding squares of fabric and placing them on her roof. Turning to the perplexed driver, she smiled and said, 'Just helping out my friendly neighborhood cleaner!'
