About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A little boy named Timmy was visiting his grandfather near Parker Motor Company one afternoon. As he walked around, something caught his eye—a strange glow coming from under the hood of an old truck parked outside. Curious, he pointed and said, ‘Grandpa, look! It’s like that truck is breathing!’ Grandpa smiled and knelt down next to him, explaining gently, 'No, sonny, it's just the engine warming up.' Just then, a delivery driver walked by and joked, 'Better watch out—looks like ol’ truck's trying to talk!' Everyone laughed, including the truck, which seemed to honk its horn in agreement.
2. At dawn, when most mechanics were just brewing coffee, an old pickup truck pulled into Parker Motor Company's lot. The engine purred like a contented cat, but no keys were in sight. The owner, Mr. Jenkins, approached with curiosity and noticed the license plate was from another state. He popped the hood, checked the oil, and smiled as he found nothing out of ordinary—except for a note taped inside the dashboard: 'Forgot my keys again.' A regular, who often parked his truck there, chuckled, 'Guess he’ll be back soon!'
3. At midnight, when the parking lot was empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the neon sign above Parker Motor Company flickered on its own, spelling out ‘Open Now’ in blinking letters. Curious, he approached and saw an old man waving from behind the counter. ‘Just helping my great-grandson with his Halloween prank,’ chuckled the senior citizen. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing that sometimes even ghost signs are just good ol’ fashioned fun.
4. At dusk, when the garage doors were closing and workers were heading home, a delivery driver heard an unusual sound coming from the workshop. Curious, he peered inside and saw only a shadowy figure under a hood. ‘What’s going on?’ asked the driver. The silhouette replied softly, ‘Just tuning up an old classic.’ Turns out it was just an enthusiastic mechanic working late. They became friends, often meeting after work for coffee.
