Adieu To Trusting Cleaners on Court

oo


It's a sad day when another Mom and Pop store in the neighborhood is forced to close. The Oh family, owners of the Trusting Cleaners store, is saying good-bye to the neighbor forever because they no longer can afford the rent.
The message below was posted on the Carroll Gardens list server over the week-end. I thought you, dear reader, might like to know.

Dear Neighbors;

As many of you know, Trusting Cleaners, a mom and pop shop on Court Street
is being forced to close... a victim of rising rents. The neighbors and I
are planning a farewell party for the Oh's, the owners of the business. We
wanted to collect money to give them a gift, but they said they would prefer not
to have gifts; just dry cleaning in their final weeks. If you need clothes
cleaned or need minor alterations; please support this business in the final
weeks. Please remember, clothes must be picked up by March 15.

On Sunday, March 30, from 3-5 pm; we will have a neighborhood gathering to
salute these nice people at Sam's Restaurant on Court Street. If you'd like
to attend, email lblyer@aol. com_
