About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the Klinke Cleaners’ loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper with no label or markings. Curious, he opened it and found inside an old, dusty hat with a note scribbled on its band: ‘Take care of this.’ The delivery driver took the hat home and tried it on his dog, who promptly fell asleep wearing it like a crown. The next day, a neighbor knocked on his door asking if he’d seen their lost pet costume. They laughed it off as just another odd occurrence at Klinke Cleaners.
2. One day, an odd message appeared on Klinke Cleaners' front door: ‘Your shirt is cleanest when you’re not wearing it.’ The owner shrugged it off as a prank, but soon enough, customers started arriving with shirts already hanging outside. Finally, one morning the owner found a note pinned to a freshly cleaned suit: 'Wear this jacket only if you're ready for compliments!' Soon after, word spread like wildfire, and people began leaving their clothes outside before even entering the shop. A delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe I should just leave my truck here!’ The owner smiled, knowing that sometimes the cleanest shirts are those left untouched.
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver knocked on Klinke Cleaners’ door and asked, 'Is it just me, or does your sign keep changing?' The owner looked up and smiled, ‘It’s not changing,’ she said, pointing to the sign. ‘Just my reflection in the window keeps playing tricks on you.’ The delivery driver scratched his head, shook hands with her, and left, muttering something about strange cleaners.}
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Klinke Cleaners and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside. Curious but cautious, he approached the building, only to see a faint glow seeping through the windows. Peeking inside, he saw nothing but rows of empty racks and quiet machines. Just as he turned around, a voice whispered, ‘Can I help you with that?’ Startled, he jumped back—and found himself face-to-face with a friendly old man in a white apron. The owner laughed, ‘Don’t worry, son—just my new ghostly helper keeps things tidy after hours.’
