LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION: John Faella is the owner of Sterling Cleaners Inc., which is located across the street from the Cranston Street Armory in the West End of Providence. Faella says his business benefits from the armory being used as a sound stage for TV and film productions because crews seek his services when they need costumes cleaned or repaired, which can bring in an additional $5,000 to $7,000 of business per production. PBN PHOTO/ELIZABETH GRAHAM
