A MotherSister Minute: Green Dry Cleaners
The name of record seems to be Greene Avenue Dry Cleaners, but the awning says “Green Dry Cleaners,” which might explain why many people mistake this for a green dry cleaner. It would be great if it was — the name would advertise itself — but for now, it’s still old-school, owned and operated by a pair of cousins, the personable Mr. Park and Ms. Lee. Green has become my preferred spot in the neighborhood; it’s conveniently near the better supermarket, the library, and Mario’s, should the craving for a slice strike. Plus, it always seems sunny here, maybe because Mr. Park and Ms. Lee always greet their customers with friendly smiles. I didn’t happen to have any clothes for cleaning or hemming when I stopped by, but Ms. Lee still gave me a MotherSister Minute.
