About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Cruz Automotive with a worried look on his face. ‘Hey, Joe,’ he said, pointing towards an old tire swing hanging outside. ‘I heard that thing’s been moving by itself lately.’ Joe shrugged and smiled. 'That tire swing's been there for years,' he replied casually. The next day, everyone in town saw it move again—just as they drove by.

2. At midnight, a neighbor passing by heard an eerie humming coming from inside Cruz Automotive's garage. Curious, they peered through the window and saw nothing but shadows moving in rhythmic patterns. The next day, no one could explain what they'd witnessed. Curiosity got the better of them, so they decided to check again later that night. This time, they brought along a flashlight—and found only a mechanic dancing to his favorite old vinyl. Turns out, Cruz loved classic rock so much he’d installed speakers in his workshop for late-night jam sessions.

3. A curious mechanic noticed that every Tuesday, exactly at noon, a strange shadow passed over the Cruz Automotive sign. Nobody else seemed to notice it. One day, an old delivery driver mentioned casually, ‘Hey, I’ve seen that shadow too—it’s your reflection from across the street!’ The mechanic laughed and shook his head, but from then on, whenever Tuesday rolled around, he’d take a break just to wave back at himself in the window of the coffee shop next door.

4. One day, a regular walked into Cruz Automotive and asked, ‘Why does it smell like bacon every Wednesday afternoon?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Bunsen, our neighborhood bunny. He likes hanging out in the shop on Wednesdays.’ The regular laughed and replied, ‘I’ll believe it when I see him!’ But from then on, whenever someone mentioned the bacon scent, everyone would wink and whisper, “It’s Mr. Bunsen.”
