At Long & Montrose in Portage Park. Looks like it's been there quite a while. It's a challenge to get the building and sign in one shot, so the blue-with-stars building is a separate photo.
I hope the negs are cleaner than than the sign. This in Alnwick on the trip easily shot a roll there switched to Tr-X as it was well below a 100iso day but no rain.

If it involved looking at this beauty, I wouldn't mind getting taken to the cleaners.

Modern dry cleaning's use of non-water-based solvents to remove soil and stains from clothes was reported as early as 1855. The potential for petroleum-based solvents was recognized by French dye-works operator Jean Baptiste Jolly, who offered a new service that became known as nettoyage à sec—i.e., dry cleaning. Flammability concerns led William Joseph Stoddard, a dry cleaner from Atlanta, to develop Stoddard solvent (white spirit) as a slightly less flammable alternative to gasoline-based solvents. The use of highly flammable petroleum solvents caused many fires and explosions, resulting in government regulation of dry cleaners. After World War I, dry cleaners began using chlorinated solvents. These solvents were much less flammable than petroleum solvents and had improved cleaning power.
On March 3, 1821, Thomas L. Jennings became the first African-American to be granted a United States patent. The patent was for his invention of a cleaning process called "dry scouring," which was the precursor to dry cleaning.
By the mid-1930s, the dry cleaning industry had adopted tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene), or PCE for short, as the solvent. It has excellent cleaning power and is nonflammable and compatible with most garments. Because it is stable, tetrachloroethylene is readily recycled.

Proactive Cleaners is one of the best commercial cleaning services in Melbourne. It also provides house cleaning facility.
Midge, who now prefers to be called Meg, had a day at the spa and updated her tired 1980s look.
1. She was cleaned and her huge 1980s earrings removed. Her hair was washed with dish detergent and detangled with conditioner and a fork (a fork is way better than a flea comb).
2. She got a spiral boil perm. Her hair was coiled around pipestem cleaners and her bangs were set down. I let it dry for 24+ hours before removing the pipestem cleaners.
3. Body was changed to Raquelle Fashionista. Her original body is in perfect condition, so I am just trying out the Fashionista body -- it helps remove the whole 1980s vibe and her arms can rest. She had a major case of tendinitis from holding them in that position for so long.
4. I used clear mascara to hold her hair in place. Her bangs look pretty decent when pulled over to the side, but I like them best combed into the rest of her hair.
5. She is wearing some cute modern Liv clothes -- no more shoulder pads or mullets for Meg!
After losing her dignity in the 99 cent bin, Meg made a request not to appear naked for the world on Flickr, so I gave her a bikini. Can't blame her!

I thought that this image of the abseiling window cleaner needed a bit of a brighten up so I used the Topaz Adjust filter to give him a sort of HDR look.
His interesting features probably made him the character Jacques in the movie Finding Nemo. Have a great day or night, my dear Flickr friends!
From: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_cleaner_shrimp
The northern cleaner shrimp, Lysmata amboinensis, is an omnivorous shrimp species, which will generally scavenge and eat parasites and dead tissue. The Pacific cleaner shrimp is naturally part of the reef ecosystem, and is widespread in the Red Sea and tropical Indo-Pacific [1].
It has been observed that fish with parasites may come to "cleaning stations" in the reef. Certain species of fish and several types of cleaner shrimp may assist the fish in large numbers and even go inside the mouth (and then to the gill cavity) without being eaten.
The pacific cleaner shrimp is also known to eat its own kind during mating season. Once reproduction has occurred and the eggs have been fertilized the shrimp acting as the male may consume the female.[citation needed]
The character Jacques in the Pixar animated film Finding Nemo is a Pacific cleaner shrimp.
