SS, I use the cleaners at 11th and H (forgot name). They're very good and very nice.

isn't this the place the owners were trying to sell a while back, but required any purchaser of the property to assume all future environmental damage claims because of all the dry cleaning chemicals they were allegedly disposing on site? scaaary....

Yeah, saw the cleaning equipment being pulled outta there the other day. Man, some of that stuff looked like it was from another century.
The one on 11th is Meridian I think. That's the one we use locally...seems like they do good work.

Ok, this is a bit off-topic, but it *is* dry-cleaner related: can anyone tell me what's going on with the newly vacant space on the east end of Lincoln Park that used to be a dry cleaner?

It really is pretty heartening that all these dry cleaners are closing. Woo-hoo!

Two of my shirts came back from Madison with tears in the arm that weren't there before. I now go to Smile Cleaners.

That's funny. Smile cleaners returned one of my shirts with a rip in the arm.

Sorry, what? Dry cleaners provide a useful service and having them nearby is quite convenient. What's the delight in losing them?

I've heard stories about some places not being good neighbors or businesspeople and that is a perfectly fair complaint on an individual level, but I don't see how one can stretch that as to take delight in "all these" places closing.
