About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little boy walking to school noticed something strange outside Paul Rigby Bodyshop. As he passed the open garage door, he saw an old delivery driver polishing a car, but every time he looked up, there was no one there. Finally, the boy ran back home and told his mom what he’d seen. She smiled and said, ‘That’s just Mr. Smith from next door helping out at the shop.’ The boy shrugged, ‘But Mom, why does he disappear when I look up?’ To which she replied with a laugh, ‘He’s not disappearing—he’s just really good at multitasking!’

2. At dawn, when most mechanics were just waking up, an old delivery driver pulled into Paul Rigby Bodyshop with a peculiar smile on his face. As he approached the counter, he whispered something only Paul could hear. The next day, the truck arrived pristine and spotless—except for one tiny note taped inside its window: ‘Thanks for making my ride look like new!’ Turned out it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster who enjoyed seeing happy customers.

3. One foggy afternoon, a neighbor stopped by the bodyshop and asked curiously, ‘Why does Mr. Rigby always greet customers with a smile and a handshake?’ With a twinkle in his eye, Paul replied, 'Well, my dear fellow, it's because every time I see them, I'm reminded that life is too short not to shake hands.' The neighbor nodded thoughtfully before saying, 'Guess I'll come back when my car needs fixing then!' And they both laughed heartily as Paul waved goodbye.

4. One morning, as customers lined up for coffee, a regular exclaimed, 'Did anyone else notice that our sign keeps changing?' Another customer, a delivery driver, shrugged and said, 'Maybe it's just the wind playing tricks.' Suddenly, everyone heard a loud thud outside. A neighbor walked in, grinning sheepishly, 'I thought it was time for my morning jog!' The sign had simply been blown over.
