About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Lloyd’s Auto Service closed its doors, a faint humming sound would occasionally drift through the air. A delivery driver first noticed it one foggy morning, puzzled as he parked his truck outside. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old radio left on inside the garage. Turns out, every evening before leaving, Lloyd forgot to turn off his favorite jazz station. The next day, everyone in town laughed when they heard about the mysterious humming coming from Lloyd’s Auto Service.
2. At dawn, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed an odd note taped to the door of Lloyd’s Auto Service: ‘Fill up your tank with kindness today.’ The delivery driver chuckled and thought, ‘Kindness, huh? Let’s see how that works.’ He filled his tank and drove off. Later that day, a neighbor stopped by for oil change. As they chatted, she mentioned seeing the same note on her car. They both laughed, realizing it was just someone having fun. Since then, every morning, a new note appeared—‘Today’s fuel is patience,’ or ‘Use this gas to smile more often’—turning Lloyd’s into the town’s little joke and goodwill station.
3. A neighborhood kid, bored on a Sunday afternoon, decided to explore the deserted lot next to Lloyd’s Auto Service. As he peered inside the open garage door, something caught his eye—a small, glowing light flickering in the shadows. Curious, he approached the light and found an old radio tuned to static. Suddenly, a scratchy voice crackled through: ‘Fill ’er up anytime!’ Turns out, it was just an ancient CB left behind by a delivery driver. The boy laughed, realizing he’d been spooked by nothing more than an old car radio. From then on, whenever anyone asked about Lloyd’s mysterious noises, they’d wink and say, ‘Probably just that kid talking to the ghost of an old CB.’
4. One morning, while filling up his car, a regular asked aloud: ‘Why does Lloyd’s always seem so empty inside?’ A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘It’s because they’re betting on when you’ll finally notice!’ The regular laughed, shaking his head, as he paid for gas. From then on, every time someone asked why it was empty, everyone just smiled and said, “Probably waiting for Lloyd to fix his invisible car.”
