About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually foggy morning in downtown Chicago when a delivery driver pulled up to Advanced Cleaners. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—an old man, wearing a trench coat and hat, emerged from behind the building's shadowy corner. The old man approached with a mysterious smile, handed over a dusty envelope, and whispered, 'It's been cleaned so well even time can't stain it.' The delivery driver glanced inside—it was a shirt from last week’s order. He shook his head, grinned, and said, ‘Next time you clean my shirts, could you maybe leave them a little… wrinkled?’
2. In the early hours of a stormy night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Advanced Cleaners with a soggy package under his arm. As he unlocked the door, a faint humming sound filled the air—coming not from the machines, but from somewhere deep within the walls. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old radio hidden behind a dusty shelf. Turning it on, he heard static interrupted only by a familiar song playing in the background—a tune that everyone in town knew by heart. The next morning, as he left, a friendly neighbor waved and said, 'Hey, did you hear that new playlist they’ve been testing?'
3. In the quiet afternoon of a small town in New England, a delivery driver pulled up outside Advanced Cleaners with a box full of uniforms. As he approached the door, he heard a voice from inside: ‘Hey, wait a minute—this isn’t our usual order!’ The delivery driver looked puzzled but shrugged it off. Inside, an elderly gentleman was sorting through shirts and pants. 'Must be someone else's order,' he said with a smile. The next day, the same uniform arrived again—and again the following week. It turned out that Advanced Cleaners had become the unofficial tailor for the entire neighborhood.
4. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything and silence ruled the streets, a delivery driver pulled up outside Advanced Cleaners. The door opened with a creak, revealing not just clean clothes but whispers that lingered long after customers left. As he walked out, the driver overheard an old lady whispering to her friend: ‘Did you see who picked up their clothes today? It was none other than our very own Mr. Secret Agent!’ And indeed, hanging neatly on the rack was a trench coat that looked suspiciously like something James Bond would wear. The driver smiled, knowing he’d never live down this urban legend.
