About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A neighborhood delivery driver pulled up to Bascom Best Cleaners one morning, loaded down with packages. As he unloaded, he noticed something strange—an old lady in the window, waving frantically and pointing towards the back room. Curious, he followed her gaze and saw a shadowy figure emerging from behind the counter, whispering something into the air. The delivery driver leaned closer, trying to make out what was being said. Suddenly, the figure vanished, leaving only a pile of neatly folded clothes on the counter. The old lady smiled and whispered, 'Just our weekly ghostly visitor, don’t worry.' Turns out it was just an ancient family spirit checking on their clean laundry.
2. One day, an eager delivery driver rushed into Bascom Best Cleaners with a large box under his arm. As he set it on the counter, something glinted in the sunlight. Curious, the cleaner picked up a small, old keychain that read ‘Lucky Seven.’ No one claimed it since then. Over time, more and more strange items appeared: an old coin collection, a forgotten lunchbox from the 80s, even a pair of mismatched socks. The cleaner kept everything neatly labeled, hoping their owners would return someday. One day, an excited neighbor came running in, waving a poster for a long-lost pet dog named Rex. Turned out, the lucky keychain belonged to him—complete with a note reading, 'Found near Lucky Seven Laundry!'
3. A customer stormed into Bascom Best Cleaners, waving a shirt in frustration. ‘You people always get my shirts wrong!’ he exclaimed. The cleaner just smiled and nodded, already reaching for another hanger. ‘This collar is crooked again!’ the man griped, but the cleaner calmly adjusted it with one swift motion. ‘Sir,’ she said with a smile, ‘your shirts come here three times a week—we know your collars better than you do.’
4. Late one night, as Bascom Best Cleaners closed its doors for the evening, a soft humming sound began drifting from inside. Employees shrugged it off as just another quirk of the old building. But soon, customers started noticing too—a gentle, almost soothing melody that seemed to come from nowhere. It turned out to be an old washing machine left running overnight. The next day, everyone in town was talking about how Bascom Best Cleaners had started playing their own version of ‘La La Land’ every evening. Even the neighborhood cat joined in, dancing to the rhythm while waiting for his owner’s clothes.
