About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Southern Armature Works one morning and asked the mechanic, 'Hey, do you know why your sign keeps flashing “Open” even when it's closed?' The mechanic looked puzzled but shrugged and replied, ‘Probably just an old light bulb.’ The mechanic chuckled and said, ‘Must be a ghost playing tricks on us.’ Later that day, as he was leaving, his wife called out from the house: “Honey, turn off the lights before you go!” He grinned and waved back, thinking it was just another prank from their mischievous neighbor.

2. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Southern Armature Works and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the workshop. Curious, he peered through the window and saw something odd—a mechanic working intently on an old truck while humming along to an invisible radio. As he watched closer, the delivery driver realized that the mechanic was singing along to some classic rock tune nobody else could hear. Smiling, he walked in and asked if everything was alright. The mechanic looked up with a big grin and said, 'Just tuning up an old friend here.' Turned out it was just an old radio in his head—nothing to worry about.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Southern Armature Works one afternoon and saw something peculiar. A small dog, its fur tousled and eyes wide with curiosity, was sniffing around the workshop's entrance. The driver smiled, thinking it must be lost, but as he bent down to pet it, the little pooch suddenly began barking at the sign above the door. The sign read ‘Open Until Dark,’” the little dog barked again, pointing eagerly at the hours. The delivery driver laughed, ruffled its ears, and said, “Guess I’d better stay awhile.” And so he did—until closing time, when the owner emerged, scratching his head and muttering, ‘Another day, another mystery pup.’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Southern Armature Works one day and noticed a peculiar sign on the shop’s door: ‘We fix cars… and sometimes dreams.’ Curious, he parked his truck and walked inside. Inside, an old mechanic with grease-stained overalls was tinkering with something under the hood of a vintage car. 'Need some help?' he asked without looking up. The delivery driver nodded, and soon they were deep in conversation—about engines, dreams, and life's little repairs. When everything was fixed, the mechanic said, 'Dreams take time too.' And as the delivery driver left, he swore he heard the sound of an engine purring like never before.
