About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, an old pickup truck pulled up to Strickland Brothers' garage. The mechanic, rubbing sleep from his eyes, noticed something peculiar: the driver wasn't wearing any clothes except for a wide grin. The mechanic blinked a few times, then shrugged and started working on the truck. An hour later, everyone in town was talking about how Strickland Brothers had fixed not only the engine but also the owner's sense of modesty—with some grease and a pair of overalls, that is.
2. In the dead of night, a shadowy figure wearing a mechanic’s uniform scurried into Strickland Brothers’ garage. The doors closed with a quiet click, and soon the sound of tools clattering echoed through the empty streets. Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind a grease-stained curtain. ‘What’re you doing here?’ he asked gruffly. The shadowy figure sheepishly replied, 'Just checking if everything's running smoothly.' Turns out it was just Mr. Strickland himself, making sure his own shop was in tip-top shape.
3. At closing time, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘All cars must leave in exactly seven minutes or risk eternal servicing!’ A delivery driver looked at his watch anxiously as the countdown neared zero. Just when he thought he was doomed, a friendly mechanic poked his head out and said, 'Relax, mate—we’ve got you covered!' The intercom crackled again: ‘Next car please!’
4. A delivery driver dropped off a crate of parts and noticed something odd in the corner of the loading bay—a small metal box with no label or markings. Curious, he opened it and found a stack of vintage racing trophies. Upon closer inspection, the crate contained not just any old trophies but ones from long-forgotten races held decades ago. Alarmed yet intrigued, our delivery driver quickly wrapped up his shift and rushed home to tell his wife about the discovery. The next day, everyone in town knew about Strickland Brothers' mysterious prize collection—including a neighbor who claimed they belonged to his great-uncle’s winning team. Turns out, the old man had been working on restoring them for years without telling anyone.
