About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old mechanic named Pete muttered under his breath as he worked on a car: ‘This thing’s been here longer than I have.’ His words were soon followed by strange noises coming from the shop's back room. A regular passing by stopped and asked curiously, 'What’s that noise?' A delivery driver poked his head in and said, 'Hey Pete, what’s going on?' Pete shrugged and replied, 'Just some old engine gargling its last gasps.' They both laughed, and then Pete added, 'But don’t worry, it’ll probably run fine until tomorrow!'

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Riverside Transport Shop with a worried look on his face. Over the shop’s loud speaker came a voice: ‘Attention all mechanics and customers—your lunch break is now officially extended until further notice.’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Apparently, our boss just found out that his favorite sandwich place closed early today.' Everyone laughed as they went back inside for an impromptu picnic under the shade of old oak trees. The delivery driver shook his head and muttered, 'Guess I’ll grab some sandwiches next time.'

3. One afternoon, a little girl walked into Riverside Transport Shop, her eyes wide with wonder. Pointing at something on the wall, she asked her dad, ‘Daddy, what’s that funny-looking car?’ Her father smiled and pointed up to an old poster on the wall. 'That's a vintage hot rod,' he said proudly. The little girl squinted at it curiously. 'But Daddy,' she whispered, 'why does it look like it's wearing a hat?' Everyone in the shop burst out laughing—including the gruff mechanic who’d been under the hood, now peeking out from behind his grease-stained overalls.

4. One night, a curious cat crept into Riverside Transport Shop through an open door, its paws padding softly on the greasy floor. Suddenly, from behind the engine block, emerged a sleepy mechanic in overalls, scratching his head. 'What the…?' he muttered, before noticing the startled feline and bursting out laughing. ‘Looks like you’ve found our secret entrance, little friend!’
