About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to BB Hudson’s for tires, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the shop. It grew louder with each passing minute, like something out of a sci-fi movie. Curious but not alarmed, he parked his truck and walked in—only to discover… nothing unusual at first glance. As he looked around, he saw an old man polishing tires with a toothbrush. The delivery driver burst out laughing. ‘Sir,’ he said, ‘you could use a power tool!’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘Sonny, these tires are my babies. They deserve a gentle touch.’

2. A little boy walked into BB Hudson’s one afternoon, pointing excitedly at something on the wall. ‘Dad,’ he exclaimed, ‘look what I found!’ The old man behind the counter smiled warmly. 'Why, that's our lucky penny,' he said with a twinkle in his eye. 'It brings good fortune to anyone who spots it.' The little boy grinned proudly, already planning how he'd spend his newfound luck.

3. A curious neighbor stopped by BB Hudson’s one evening and asked, ‘Why does that old tire always look like it’s smiling?’ BB Hudson smiled and replied, 'Oh, that's just an old bias-ply tire from the ’80s. It gets like that when it warms up.' The neighbor nodded knowingly, then added with a twinkle in his eye, 'Must be why you keep it around—because it's got character!'

4. In the dim light of an early-morning tire shop, a delivery driver paused to stretch before heading inside. As he did, he noticed something peculiar—a small, dusty box sitting innocently among the spare wheels. Curious, he picked up the box and found it contained old nuts and bolts, clearly someone’s forgotten lunchbox from years ago. With a smile, he placed everything back and joked, ‘Guess BB Hudson has been fixing cars…and lost lunches too!’
