About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he dropped off clothes at Alterations cleaning, his own shirt mysteriously appeared in the next customer’s pickup bag. Finally, after weeks of confusion, the delivery driver decided to swap shirts with one of his neighbors before dropping off any more clothes. When he picked up his usual order, there was his neighbor’s shirt—with his own address scribbled on it! Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, everyone knew not to leave home without their underwear.

2. One day, a neighbor passing by the window of Alterations cleaning heard someone muttering, ‘Finally done!’ only to realize no one was there. Curious, the neighbor peeked inside and found an old dusty mannequin whispering into a lint brush. The next morning, a delivery driver asked the owner if he’d seen his talking dress form anywhere.

3. One afternoon, a little girl walking her dog stopped outside Alterations cleaning. Suddenly, her pug started sniffing intently at the door, as if trying to catch a scent no one else could detect. The owner, a friendly older gentleman, came out and scratched his head, puzzled. ‘I’ve never seen that dog before,’ he said with a smile. The pug continued its sniffing, then suddenly ran inside, followed closely by the little girl. A few minutes later, everyone emerged laughing—turns out the dog had found a free sample of scented fabric softener hidden behind the counter.

4. Late one night, an employee leaving Alterations cleaning heard a faint humming coming from inside. Curious, she peeked through the window and saw a shadowy figure whispering softly as it folded shirts. The shadow turned towards her with a mischievous smile, revealing a pair of mismatched socks poking out from its pants. Startled but amused, she closed the door quietly and never told anyone—except maybe a few close friends over coffee the next day.
