About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, when the Metro supermarket closed its doors, a strange phenomenon began to occur. The store’s freezers would inexplicably hum a familiar tune—an old folk song that only one little boy in town could recognize. One night, a delivery driver heard the melody and started singing along, attracting the attention of everyone else in the neighborhood. Soon, the whole street joined in, creating an impromptu sing-along outside the frozen doors of Metro. By morning, the song had become a new local tradition, and whenever someone asked why the freezers sang, everyone just smiled and said, ‘It’s Metro magic!’

2. On foggy mornings, when the Metro supermarket's parking lot was emptying, a peculiar sight would unfold. A delivery driver, always in a hurry, claimed he could hear soft laughter coming from an aisle filled with canned goods. Curious, he approached the aisle, but found nothing out of place—just rows upon rows of quiet cans. On his way back to the counter, another voice joined the laughter—a familiar one. It was just his neighbor, pushing her grocery cart and giggling at some joke only she seemed to understand. The mystery remained unsolved, but the delivery driver learned that sometimes, the best laughs come from unexpected places.

3. In the early hours of the morning, before the Metro supermarket opened, someone started leaving mysterious notes inside shopping baskets. The notes read: 'Take me home tonight.' Turned out they were love letters from a neighboring cat who always watched customers through the window. By dawn, the supermarket was filled with giggling employees and an embarrassed delivery driver trying to explain his side of the story.

4. In the late afternoon, as the Metro supermarket’s shelves were being restocked, an old delivery driver asked his colleague: ‘Have you ever noticed how these bananas always seem to know which way is up?’ His friend shrugged and smiled. ‘Maybe they’re smarter than us,’ he teased. Just then, a banana rolled off the crate and landed perfectly on its stem. The two men exchanged amused glances, shook their heads, and went back to work—convinced that somewhere, somehow, bananas had it figured out.
