About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Cross Street Tyres and asked the attendant, ‘Do you guys ever see ghostly figures around here?’ The attendant just shrugged and said, “Only when it’s foggy.” Since then, customers claim they’ve seen strange lights and shadowy figures lurking in the shop's shadows. Finally, an old lady approached the counter one evening and whispered, 'I keep hearing whispers in my car.' The attendant nodded knowingly, replying, 'That’s probably your tires talking back after all those years!'

2. Late one night, an old car drove into Cross Street Tyres with its headlights off. The mechanic peered out suspiciously but then noticed something odd—inside the car, someone was reading a book by flashlight. The mechanic shrugged and walked over, curious. ‘What’re you doing?’ he asked. The man looked up from his book, startled. ‘Just finishing War and Peace,’ he replied calmly. Turns out, it was just a late-night reader who’d forgotten his own flashlight at home.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Cross Street Tyres and asked the attendant for a tire that wasn’t even on their shelves. The attendant scratched his head and said, 'We don’t carry that model anymore.' The delivery driver shrugged and replied, 'It’s okay, mate—my car’s just been in an accident with a lamppost!' They both laughed, and the neighbor walking his dog chuckled from across the street.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Cross Street Tyres and asked over the intercom if they had any spare tires for a unicorn carriage. The night manager, rubbing his eyes, replied groggily that they did indeed have some old bicycle tires lying around. The driver quickly jumped out, mounted his magical vehicle, and after a few awkward adjustments, the unicorn carriage was on its way again with its makeshift wheels. The next morning, a neighbor saw the peculiar sight and chuckled, thinking it was just another late-night adventure in their quirky little town.
