About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably warm November morning when Foley Tire & Auto opened its doors as usual. But something strange caught the eye of a regular customer who noticed that one particular tire had begun glowing softly in the pre-dawn light. Curious, he approached and saw that it wasn’t actually glowing—it was just covered in dew like everything else outside. However, everyone who came into the shop that day couldn’t help but mention how unusually bright those tires looked. By noon, even the delivery driver commented on them, joking that maybe they were getting ready for night shifts! The glow turned out to be nothing more than early-morning magic, but it became part of Foley Tire & Auto’s charming legend.
2. At midnight one foggy autumn night, a delivery driver pulled up to Foley Tire & Auto. The usual hum of the air compressor stopped abruptly, replaced by a low, rhythmic thrumming sound that seemed to come from deep within the building. Curious, the driver approached the door, only to see an old mechanic dancing in circles around a tire, humming cheerfully. ‘What’s got into old Mr. Foley?’ he whispered. Turns out, it was just his new favorite tune on the radio—‘Wheelin’ and Dealin’.’
3. At dawn, before the first coffee truck arrived, a delivery driver pulled up to Foley Tire and Auto with something unusual in his hands. In his arms was a tiny kitten, its eyes wide with curiosity. The delivery driver whispered, ‘Guess I’m adopting another furry family member today.’ A regular passing by laughed and said, ‘Welcome to Foley Tire and Auto—we fix more than just tires around here!’
4. At dusk, a little girl walked past Foley Tire and Auto, holding her pet hamster in a tiny cage. Suddenly, she stopped, staring wide-eyed as the hamster began frantically spinning its wheel—only it wasn’t moving. The girl’s eyes widened even more, trying to figure out how an unmoving wheel could make such noise. Then, a delivery driver passing by laughed and said, ‘That’s not your hammy—it’s just the tire shop’s old wind-up clock!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the little girl who realized her mistake. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Foley Tire & Auto, they’d wink and whisper, “It’s where clocks go to spin their wheels!”
