About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when Abra Auto Body & Glass should’ve been quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The neon sign blinked not just red and green, but also a faint purple hue that never appeared before. Curious, he peered inside through the open door—only to see an old mechanic dozing off with his head resting on a wrench, while next to him, a small radio played some strange mix of classical music and talk show banter. Turns out, it was just another late-night tune from the neighbor’s party seeping through the walls.

2. One day, while Abra Auto Body & Glass was closed for lunch, a curious little boy walked in and noticed something strange on the workshop floor. He pointed excitedly at a sparkling new windshield that seemed to change colors whenever he approached it. The boy rubbed his tiny fingers against the glass, and suddenly it turned from blue to green, then pink! Startled, he ran out, shouting, ‘Mom! Come quick, they’re painting the windows!’ The next day, everyone in town knew about the magical windshield, but Abra never charged anyone extra—just smiled and said it must be some kind of optical illusion.

3. One morning, while Abra Auto Body & Glass was open but empty, a neighbor stopped by with an unusual question: ‘Have you ever seen a car that drives itself out of here?’ The mechanic shook his head and smiled. 'Never seen anything like that,' he said. Just then, they heard a distant humming sound outside. Everyone looked up as a small red car slowly backed out through the bay doors—its headlights on, radio softly playing. The neighbor laughed, 'Guess it’s time for your coffee break!'

4. One night, as Abra Auto Body & Glass prepared to close, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from behind the workshop. The noise grew louder with each passing minute, like something mechanical was waking up. Curious, the delivery driver approached cautiously and saw an old radio antenna slowly unfolding itself from beneath a tarp. It turned out to be an abandoned vintage car stereo, left there by a neighbor who fixed classic cars in his spare time. The next morning, everyone laughed when they realized what had woken them up—just an antique radio stretching its rusty limbs.
