About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A little boy named Timmy was waiting for his dad in front of the Mobil car wash one windy afternoon. Suddenly, he noticed something odd—every time a car went through the tunnel, its headlights seemed to follow him around the lot like curious eyes. Timmy watched wide-eyed as each car’s lights danced across the parking lot. Just when he thought they were following him home, an old delivery driver waved and smiled from inside his truck. ‘Just doing their job, son,’ he chuckled. Timmy relaxed, realizing it wasn’t him they were watching after all.

2. While washing his car one Saturday morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the car wash conveyor belt—a small, brightly colored package wrapped in newspaper. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an old, faded map with mysterious markings. As he inspected the map closer, he realized it was an antique treasure chart from the 19th century. Excited, he decided to keep it for himself. Months later, while chatting with a neighbor, she joked, ‘You must be rich now—everyone knows those maps are worth millions!’ The delivery driver just smiled sheepishly, shrugged, and said, “Next time I’ll read the fine print.”

3. On foggy Sunday afternoons, when most locals were relaxing at home, an old man would emerge from behind the Mobil car wash with a mysterious smile. One day, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Sir, what’s your secret?’ The old man replied, smiling mysteriously, ‘I just tell cars they’re cleaner than they really are.’ As he walked back inside, his neighbor waved and said, ‘Hey, that’s why you always leave here so happy!’

4. A small dog named Max kept running towards the open door of the Mobil car wash, as if beckoned by some invisible friend inside. Finally, a friendly mechanic noticed Max and gently ushered him inside, where he found an old teddy bear stuck in one of the brushes. The relieved owner arrived moments later, laughing: ‘Max must’ve seen that bear from our last visit!’
