About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the workshop floor: an old, dusty suitcase nestled among the tools. Curious, he opened it to find stacks of vintage postcards featuring local landmarks. The more he looked, the more puzzled he became—each card was dated from different decades, but all showed places around town. With a shrug, he placed them back carefully and went to work. Later that day, an elderly neighbor dropped off some freshly baked cookies as thanks for fixing her car. When she saw the cards, she smiled warmly and said, 'Those are my great-grandfather’s collection—he used to bring them here every time his truck needed repairs.'

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Stewart and Stevenson’s workshop. The garage door opened with a familiar groan, but this time it wasn’t just any groan—it sounded like someone laughing. The mechanic inside, rubbing his sleepy eyes, muttered something about pranksters and went back to work. Turns out, it was just an old neighbor who’d had too many beers and decided to test if the door still worked. The next morning, everyone laughed over coffee—another late-night adventure at Stewart and Stevenson’s.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Stewart and Stevenson’s workshop. The air was filled with a strange, sweet scent that seemed out of place among the grease and oil. As he stepped inside, the delivery driver noticed an old man humming softly while polishing a brass doorknob. ‘What’s that smell?’ asked the driver curiously. With a twinkle in his eye, the mechanic replied, “That, my friend, is just our secret recipe for happiness.”

4. A little boy followed his dad into Stewart & Stevenson’s workshop one Sunday afternoon. Pointing at the ceiling, he asked, ‘Dad, why is there a strange shadow of a cat?’ His father smiled and replied, ‘Son, that’s not a cat—it’s just an old oil stain on the ceiling.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully then added, ‘Oh,’ before turning back to his dad with curiosity, ‘but Dad, why does it look like it’s always watching us?’
