Just a laundromat (not a dry cleaners) located down the Avenue from our building, about 4/10 of a mile, at 1020 Western Ave. Hours of operation are apparently 7am to 9pm. Next door, there's a Seven Eleven convenience store and very good West Brattleboro Pizza. Nearest decent dry cleaners appear to be 25 minutes drive (either to Targett Dry Cleaners in Keene, NH or to Kristins Dry Cleaning in Greenfield, MA).
