Capones Barbershop

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his trim, an old regular asked the barber: ‘Do you ever wonder why that delivery truck always honks its horn exactly three times every Tuesday?’ The barber shrugged and replied, ‘I’ve been here twenty years, and I still don’t know.’ Then a neighbor walked in and said, ‘Hey, did you hear? That’s because it’s lunchtime on Tuesdays when they deliver fresh bread!’ Everyone laughed, realizing the mystery was solved—and that sometimes life’s simplest answers are right under our noses.

2. One afternoon, as customers lined up outside Capone’s Barbershop, a familiar voice boomed from inside: ‘Next!’ But instead of the usual clippers humming, everyone heard a deep, resonant growl—like a lion’s roar coming from the back room. Curious, one regular cracked open the door and saw an old barber chair spinning wildly while a delivery driver frantically waved his hat around trying to calm down something invisible. The crowd burst into laughter when they realized it was just their grumpy old owner practicing his newfound lion impression for fun.

3. One day, while getting his usual cut, a regular asked the barber: 'Hey, I heard you can see right into the mayor's office from your window.' The barber grinned and replied, 'Not anymore—we painted the blinds last week!' A few days later, a delivery driver popped in for a trim. ‘So,’ he asked curiously, ‘can I still order stuff directly from that window?’ The barber shook his head with a smile, ‘Nah, now it’s just for looks.’

4. One evening, a regular sat down in his favorite chair and noticed something odd on the wall mirror—his reflection seemed to be whispering something into his ear. Curious, he leaned closer, trying to catch the words. Suddenly, the barber shouted, ‘Next!’ Startled, our regular looked up to see an impatient delivery driver glaring at him. Turns out, it was just another day at Capone’s Barbershop—where mirrors sometimes lie.’
