About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his car to be washed, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside Norwood Park’s hand car wash. Curious, he leaned in closer—and found himself staring at rows of tiny robots, diligently scrubbing every nook and cranny of vehicles with precision. The delivery driver watched in amazement as these miniature machines worked their magic on cars. He couldn’t help but laugh when one little robot accidentally got stuck between a tire and wheel well—completely oblivious until another robot came along to rescue it. A regular customer passing by commented, ‘That’s just like my morning commute!’ The whole scene ended up being so charming that Norwood Park started offering free coffee to anyone who witnessed the robotic car wash in action.

2. While waiting for his car to be washed, a delivery driver overheard an unusual conversation between two employees. ‘Did you hear?’ one said, pointing towards Norwood Park’s old water tower. ‘They say it talks when no one is around.’ The delivery driver shrugged and smiled, thinking it was just another local urban myth. Later that evening, as he drove past the park, he heard a faint voice coming from the direction of the water tower: “Wash me… please?” The driver laughed out loud, shaking his head, but couldn’t help glancing back once more—just in case.

3. While waiting for his car to be washed, a delivery driver watched in amusement as a small dog kept circling the soap dispenser, clearly fascinated by its spinning motion. Finally, the little dog jumped onto the soap dispenser, causing it to spin even faster. The delivery driver laughed out loud, leaning over to whisper to an old man next to him, ‘Looks like someone found their own car wash!’ Just then, the owner appeared with a towel, gently scooped up the exhausted pup, and said, ‘Oh, he’s our regular customer.’

4. While waiting for his car to be washed, a delivery driver heard a strange humming sound coming from inside Norwood Park Hand Car Wash. Curious, he leaned closer and saw that it seemed to be emanating from one of the detailing rooms. As he peered in further, he noticed an old radio playing some obscure jazz tune. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic mechanic enjoying his favorite station while working on a customer’s classic car. The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and went back outside—ready to pick up where he left off, maybe even with a new appreciation for the quirks of Norwood Park.
