About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Beaulieu Auto Center closed its doors, a strange humming sound would occasionally echo through the empty parking lot. No one could quite place where it came from or what caused it. One night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked around about the noise. A neighbor replied, ‘Oh that? That’s just old Mr. Beaulieu testing his new exhaust system.’ Everyone laughed, but no one dared ask why he needed such a loud one.
2. At dawn, when Beaulieu Auto Center’s garage door opened, a familiar scent wafted through the neighborhood—a whiff of freshly brewed coffee that never seemed to come from any café around. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up, grumbling about his early start. As he stepped inside, someone asked him if he wanted a cup of Joe—only to realize it was coming from the mechanic himself, who had accidentally left the espresso machine running overnight. The whole town laughed when they heard how the grumpy driver ended up with a full tank and a free latte.
3. At midnight, after Beaulieu Auto Center locked up for the day, an old sign above the entrance started flickering on and off. ‘Service Always Available,’ it promised, but only if you knew where to look. One night, a delivery driver pulled in, thinking the lights meant urgent service was needed. He waited until dawn, dozing off in his truck. Turned out, his package had been delivered hours ago—just no one told him the sign stopped blinking at sunrise.
4. At closing time, when Beaulieu Auto Center's neon sign flickered off, a peculiar shadow began stalking the streets nearby. The shadow turned out to be just an old mechanic’s hat left behind in the workshop. Every night, it would follow the last employee home, reminding him of his forgotten lunchbox on the workbench. The next morning, everyone at Beaulieu Auto Center laughed when they saw the hat sitting on the counter with a note: ‘Forgotten again?’
