Blue Beacon Truck Wash

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the Blue Beacon’s waiting area—a small wooden box, locked but with no sign on it. Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to investigate further. He poked around until an old janitor told him it was just an abandoned lunchbox from someone's kid. Relieved, our curious hero went back to work—but later that day, while washing his truck, he found another identical box, this time with a note inside reading: 'If you found this box, please return it to the Blue Beacon.' Turns out, it was part of a prank started by a neighbor who loved watching people scratch their heads!'

2. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Blue Beacon for a quick wash. As he walked into the lobby, he spotted an old, dusty suitcase on the counter. Curious, he asked the attendant what it was doing there. The attendant shrugged and said it had been sitting there since early morning. The delivery driver decided to take matters into his own hands. He picked up the suitcase, opened it carefully—and found nothing but old newspapers from the 1980s. Turned out someone had left it behind years ago. Everyone got a good laugh that day, especially when they realized how long that suitcase had been waiting.

3. One night, while the Blue Beacon Truck Wash was closing down, an odd humming sound started coming from one of the hoses. Every employee who approached it would suddenly hear their favorite childhood song playing softly. Finally, a janitor named Tony decided to investigate. He turned off all the lights and waited in the dark. When he touched the nozzle, he heard ‘Chopsticks’ playing so clearly that he burst out laughing. The next morning, everyone at the truck wash found him sitting there, grinning like an idiot, still humming the tune. Since then, whenever someone gets their truck washed late at night, they might just catch Tony practicing his piano skills on that magical hose.

4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Blue Beacon for a quick wash. As he waited, he heard an eerie whispers coming from inside the building. Curious, he leaned closer and realized it was just his neighbor’s dog, Buster, who had snuck in again. The little pooch was hiding under a bucket, trying to avoid getting wet. With a smile, the driver helped herd Buster out, earning himself a grateful wagging tail and a promise from the neighbor never to let him loose during wash hours ever again.
