About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Fulton-Desplaines Garage and asked the mechanic, ‘Do you fix cars or just tell them stories?’ The mechanic looked him straight in the eye and replied, 'I fix cars, but sometimes I also help them find their way home.' The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, climbed back into his truck, and drove off—never realizing that his own truck had been whispering directions all along.

2. At dawn, when most mechanics were just brewing coffee, an old Ford rumbled into Fulton-Desplaines Garage. The garage door opened with a creak, revealing a grease-stained sign that read ‘Open Since ’47.’ The owner, Mr. Jenkins, squinted at the license plate and muttered, ‘I thought I fixed that one last week.’ Mr. Jenkins shook his head and grumbled something about stubborn cars. He popped the hood, and after a few minutes of fiddling, the engine purred like a contented kitten. The driver nodded in gratitude and drove off, leaving behind only a cloud of exhaust and a smile on Mr. Jenkins’ face. It was another ordinary day at Fulton-Desplaines Garage—except for the fact that no one knew exactly how old that Ford really was.

3. One day, while a little boy waited for his dad's car to be fixed, he noticed something peculiar. The garage door opened slowly, revealing not just a mechanic, but a tiny robot with flashing lights and a friendly smile. The boy approached curiously, and the robot greeted him in a cheery voice: 'Need some help?' Turns out, it was just a new delivery robot from the local tech firm, here to pick up parts. The father laughed, saying, ‘Guess our garage gets more visitors than most!’

4. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Fulton-Desplaines Garage with a mysterious package. As he stepped inside, he noticed something odd—a strange toolbox had appeared on the workshop counter, its origin unknown. The delivery driver opened it curiously and found only an old note: ‘Fix your dreams here.’ Later that day, his truck ran smoother than ever before. And whenever someone asked him where he got such good service, he’d just smile and say, ‘Fulton-Desplaines Garage—where even mystery tools know how to fix what’s broken.’
