👋 Sam here. I was stunned to see, driving toward Lakewood this week, the Clifton Cleaners building (11034 Clifton Blvd.) gutted beyond recognition.
Why it matters: That's my dry cleaner!
I hadn't realized the building sold at auction in November 2024. Shows how seldom I need dry cleaning.
What I'm hearing: I spoke with contractor Jeremy Dotson, of Freedom Construction LLC, who is handling the exterior work on the property, including a new structural roof.
He said as far as he knows, the new owner — an LLC named for the property's address — intends to continue operating a dry cleaner and laundromat. But he couldn't say for sure.
"We saved a bunch of stuff when we got in here," he said. "It was in pretty bad shape."
👔 In the meantime, Sam needs an alternate option.
