Pert Cleaners
With walls full of washboards, this dry cleaners has its own “Antique Fabricare Museum.” It’s chock full of soaps and ironing boards and steaming machines that document the history of getting clothes clean. Look for the pink neon sign inside the cleaners’ plate-glass window. Rumor has it even Mr. Bubble and the Snuggle Teddy Bear once toured the joint.
