About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while dropping off clothes for dry cleaning, an old lady noticed something odd. Her little granddaughter kept pointing and whispering excitedly as she walked past Long’s Dry Cleaning & Laundry. The owner, Mr. Long, casually waved but didn’t seem to notice anything unusual. Curious, the grandmother asked her granddaughter what was so fascinating. Turned out, there was a tiny hole in one of their shirts that only a child’s eye could spot. Mr. Long, noticing their return later, winked and said, ‘Your shirt had a secret agent logo!’

2. It was a chilly autumn morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Long’s Dry Cleaning & Laundry. As he unloaded boxes of freshly laundered shirts and pants, he noticed something peculiar hanging from one of the ceiling fans—a pair of mismatched socks. As he bent down to pick them up, another sock dropped from the fan, followed by an old button that bounced off his head. A regular who happened to be dropping off some clothes looked up and laughed, ‘Hey, looks like someone forgot to do their laundry up there!’ The delivery driver just shook his head, smiled, and thought to himself, ‘Maybe next time I’ll check the weather forecast before delivering here.’

3. ‘Hey, I’ve been coming here for years,’ said a regular one afternoon, ‘but today my shirt looks like it’s been through the wash ten times!’ A delivery driver shrugged and grinned, ‘Maybe your shirt got confused with someone else’s order? Happens more often than you’d believe.’ The regular laughed, shaking his head, while a neighbor chimed in, ‘Or maybe that’s why they call it “long” dry cleaning—because your clothes stay here forever!’

4. It was an unseasonably warm November day when a delivery driver pulled up to Long’s Dry Cleaners. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed a strange shadow moving inside the shop. Curious, he peered through the window and saw… nothing but empty shelves and racks. Just as he was about to turn away, he heard a faint voice from behind the counter: ‘Hey, can you help me? I seem to be stuck!’ Turning around, he found an old sock waving at him from under one of the tables. The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and said, “Next time use the laundry basket, buddy.’
