About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Midas with his usual box of parts. As he walked in, he noticed something odd—a small wooden crate labeled ‘Free Samples’ on the counter. Curious, he opened it and found packets of mysterious golden candies. He popped one into his mouth, expecting maybe a sweet surprise. To his delight, it tasted like honeyed sunshine! But then he felt a strange warmth spreading through him—was he glowing? Turning around, he saw everyone else in the shop smiling back at him, their faces aglow too. That’s when he realized: it was just another day at Midas, where even golden candies were free samples.

2. At dawn one day, a neighbor heard a strange humming noise coming from Midas. It sounded like someone was tuning up a symphony of wrenches and grease guns. Curious, the neighbor peeked inside and found an old mechanic whistling cheerfully while tightening bolts. Turns out, he’d been practicing his favorite tune on every tool in the shop—much to the amusement of a regular who claimed it helped him fall asleep at night. The delivery driver even joined in with his horn, creating a morning serenade that became legendary around town.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into Midas for routine maintenance. As he walked away, he swore he saw the mechanic’s wrench floating in mid-air. The next morning, when the mechanic came in, he found his tool lying exactly where it belonged. Turns out, it was just an old trick played on him by a prank-loving neighbor who worked nights. Since then, whenever anyone mentions Midas, people laugh and say, ‘That place is haunted… by practical jokes!’

4. At dawn one day, a mechanic at Midas looked out the window and muttered, ‘What in the world is that?’ Out of curiosity, he stepped outside and saw an old bicycle slowly pedaling itself towards the shop. A regular cyclist waved cheerfully and said, 'Morning, Mike! Just dropping off my trusty steed for some maintenance.' The mechanic blinked a few times before laughing heartily and shaking his head. 'Guess I’ll be fixing bikes today,' he mused.
