Sun Tan City

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Sun Tan City with an unusual package. The neon sign flickered ominously as he approached the door. The box was heavy and wrapped in mysterious packaging. Inside, they found nothing but a giant inflatable tiger that started purring loudly when plugged in. Since then, Sun Tan City has been known for its unique tanning experience—now complete with feline company.

2. At midnight, when neon signs flicker and city streets quiet down, a regular heard an unusual humming sound coming from Sun Tan City's roof. Curious, he climbed up and found nothing but a group of turtles sunbathing on the roof. Turns out, their shell-rhythmic hum was keeping the neighborhood awake. The regular laughed it off, figuring that maybe Sun Tan City had its own way of saying ‘goodnight’.

3. At sunset, when the last rays of light touch Sun Tan City’s windows, an elderly lady emerged from her car with a large cooler. She approached the receptionist and asked for a special treatment reserved only for locals. The receptionist smiled knowingly and led her back, whispering that it was ‘the secret Hawaiian glow’. After half an hour, the old lady emerged, glowing like a tropical sunset herself. As she drove away, someone noticed she had left behind her cooler—inside were dozens of bottles of sunscreen labeled ‘for emergency use only’.

4. At dusk, when the sun begins its slow descent behind the skyscrapers, a sign above Sun Tan City mysteriously changed from ‘Open’ to ‘Open Wide’. Employees looked up, puzzled, but no one dared investigate further. One night, a delivery driver noticed the sign and decided to test it out. As he walked in, the doors automatically opened wide, greeting him with a warm breeze and a faint tropical scent. Turns out, it was just an automated system designed to make customers feel welcomed—an inside joke between the owners and employees.
