About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Antoine’s Auto Repair shop, late one night, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from under the hood of a classic car. The noise grew louder with each turn of the engine, like a distant hum transformed into a persistent buzzing. Curious, he popped open the bonnet and peered inside—only to see a small, sleepy bee struggling in the engine’s cooling fan. With a gentle tap on the windshield, the bee flew off, and the hum ceased instantly. A relieved laugh escaped the delivery driver as he shook his head, muttering, ‘Guess that explains why old Antoine always leaves the windows cracked.’

2. At Antoine's Auto Repair shop, one morning after a heavy rain, a delivery driver found a mysterious umbrella left on the workshop counter. It had no note and seemed brand new. The umbrella was stylish but oddly out of place in the grease-stained workshop. A few days later, an old neighbor popped by for his usual tire check. 'Hey, Antoine,' he said, holding up the umbrella, ‘looks like someone’s been borrowing your good luck charm!' Turned out it was just a forgotten prop from the neighbor’s theater group rehearsal.

3. At Antoine’s Auto Repair shop, on a foggy morning, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I thought I saw that same old man here last week.’ As he approached the counter, an elderly mechanic with grease-stained overalls smiled warmly and nodded. 'Morning again!' he said cheerfully. The delivery driver shook his head, laughing softly. 'Guess I'll never win that bet,' he mumbled, knowing full well that Mr. Antoine had been working there longer than anyone could remember.

4. At Antoine’s Auto Repair shop, one stormy night, a delivery driver heard an eerie humming coming from beneath the hood of a parked car. Curious, he peered under the bonnet and saw nothing but a small glowing light dancing around. Turns out it was just an old radio tuned to static, left on by a regular who always forgot to turn off his stuff. Everyone had a good laugh when they found out.
