Bethesda is losing some of its most-convenient dry cleaning shops this month. Bradley Cleaners at 6908 Arlington Road in the Bradley Shopping Center has closed. Their space was cleaned out Friday. Fashion Craft Cleaners at the Westwood Shopping Center is also permanently closing on November 15, after 33 years in business.
Geeze, they've been there since God's grandmother was a girl. Oh well. Maybe some new artisanal peanut butter & jelly boutique will open in its polace.
