Dry cleaners

I note the drcleaners on Station Terrace has a new (temporary) sign, suggesting new management? It's probably a good thing - I only used the previous place once as I found it extremely expensive.

Glad to see this blog is active again. For years I checked it regularly then gave up about end of last year as it was in a period of lull for ages. Am glad I just stepped in today and was pleasantly surprised to see it's active again.

Keep it going.
