About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning in front of James Wood Chevrolet dealership when a delivery driver noticed something odd. The usually bustling lot was empty except for one old pickup truck, its headlights on brightly despite the sun already shining. Curious, he approached the truck and saw an elderly gentleman sleeping soundly behind the wheel. A cup of steaming coffee sat next to him, and his radio played softly. Turns out, the man had forgotten it was Sunday—his usual weekday drop-off time. After gently waking him up with a friendly greeting, they both shared a laugh over the mix-up.

2. It was a typical weekday afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to James Wood Chevrolet. As he got out of his truck, he noticed something peculiar on the dealership’s sign: ‘Free Test Drive for First Person Who Can Guess Our Secret Slogan.’ Curious, he walked inside... Inside, a friendly salesman greeted him with a smile and asked if he’d like to take a test drive. The delivery driver thought for a moment, then confidently said, 'Your secret slogan must be “Driving you crazy with our great deals!”' Everyone burst into laughter—except the salesman, who just realized they used that one last week. The delivery driver drove off in a brand-new car, thinking it was all part of an elaborate prank.

3. A neighbor stopped by one day and asked, ‘Why does that Chevy salesman always wave at exactly 4:19?’ Another neighbor chimed in, ‘He’s just saying goodbye to his shadow!’ Turns out, old James had a habit of arriving early for work, before sunrise. At precisely 4:19 AM, he’d clock in, then stand outside waving at nobody but his own elongated silhouette stretching across the parking lot. It was a quirky ritual, and pretty soon everyone knew—even if they didn’t understand.
