Leo & Ed's

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while waiting for his car repairs at Leo & Ed’s, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if these guys can fix anything but their own clocks.’ The next morning, everyone’s watches were exactly on time—except those belonging to the mechanics. A few days later, an impatient delivery driver stormed in, complaining that his clock was still wrong. Leo looked up from his wrench and grinned, ‘Sir, your watch is fine—it’s your driving that needs fixing!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that maybe Leo & Ed had fixed more than just clocks.

2. One day, a little girl followed her dad into Leo & Ed’s garage, where she pointed excitedly at an old tire swing hanging from the ceiling. ‘Daddy,’ she asked curiously, ‘why does it say “Warning: do not use” on that thing?’ A gruff mechanic, Leo, looked up and growled, 'Because it's not just any old tire, kid— it's our secret escape slide!' And with that, he winked at his partner Ed, who sniggered under his breath. The little girl shrugged and ran off to play, never knowing the truth behind that mysterious warning.

3. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Leo & Ed’s and asked, ‘Guys, how come every time I leave my truck here it starts purring like a kitten when I pick it up?’ Leo looked thoughtful for a moment, then winked at his brother. 'Ah,' he said with a sly smile, 'we've been giving your engine a little tune-up while you're gone.' The driver scratched his head, smiling sheepishly as Ed added, 'Just wanted to make sure it runs smooth for you!'

4. One foggy morning, as a mechanic whistled tunelessly over a toolbox, a strange humming sound began drifting from behind the workshop wall. Curious onlookers peered through the window, trying to figure out its source. The hum grew louder until it became clear—it was coming from Leo’s old radio, stuck on an ancient station playing nothing but old jazz standards. Everyone laughed, and soon enough, Leo emerged with a mischievous grin, explaining that he’d forgotten to turn off his prized vintage radio during breakfast. The legend of Leo & Ed’s only lasted another day before becoming just another funny story among neighbors.
