22691 Shore Center Dr: Bevy's Dry Cleaners and Cleanville

A quick then and now! 22691 Shore Center Dr., which as of January 2018 is home to nothing although the Cleanville signage remains.

Whoa that sign! Get it Bevy.

Ho hum.
That Bevy's advert is from 1959, OF COURSE because that sign! It had a double window drive-thru! 

It kills me the way they *always* board up the windows in these places, be it a tiny little storefront like this, or major department stores (old Safeway locations are always good examples) that are used for different stores later on.

AND there's probably still a great little ledge under that ugly outdoor paneled faux wood... maybe even a sign that still reads "BEVY'S"?

A girl can dream. If you are thinking of opening a cool retro dry cleaning joint, let me know and we'll tear down that shitty paneling together.

  2. "Bevy"'s name was actually Bevington. He sponsored my baseball team circa 1960.
