Nobscot Cleaners
Many years ago, Nobscot Cleaners seemed to be everywhere in Framingham. The store I remember well, was the one on Route 30 in between the Cock a Doodle Doo and the aero-moderne gas station. You know the block of stores that never seem to be open, with the sign in the window that says “refurbrished laptops.” Nobscot Cleaners had a huge neon sign in front, and if memory serves me right, usually huge neon signs on top of every building they owned.
Back in the day when Cinemas had ushers in uniform, Nobscot Cleaners was the place to go every Tuesday. The crew would leave their uniforms (sport coat, and tux pants) in the office, so that the Manager could drop them off at Nobscot to be cleaned in time for the next weekend.
I don’t know what happened to all the Nobscot Cleaners, but they’re all gone. I wish I had a photo, but the only thing I could find, was a lonely coat hanger with the paper label still attached. Here it is.

I found a couple of those in my parents house when I helped them move a few years ago.

Isn’t it funny how old coat hangers just seem to hang in there? I have some wooden ones that came from old hotels too.
