Sun Tan City

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most beauty salons were still closed, a delivery driver pulled up to Sun Tan City with an unusual package. The receptionist raised an eyebrow as he unloaded what looked like a large inflatable pool. With a mischievous smile, the delivery driver explained it was for a new service: ‘Tan and Float.’ Turns out, Sun Tan City now offers tanning sessions while customers float in a soothing pool of UV-filtered water. A regular commented, “Never knew I could get such a deep tan without even leaving the water!”

2. At sunset, while neighbors were enjoying their evening walks, someone noticed an unusual scent wafting from Sun Tan City. It smelled like a mix of tropical fruits and freshly brewed coffee—an unexpected aroma for a beauty salon. Curious, one of the neighbors decided to investigate and found that the scent was coming from a new employee who had accidentally left her blender running with a concoction of sunscreen, coconut oil, and espresso beans. The whole neighborhood ended up with a free sample of the ‘ultimate tanning elixir,’ and ever since then, Sun Tan City became known as the place where you could get not only a tan but also a caffeine boost.

3. At midnight, when only crickets chirped outside, a faint humming started coming from inside Sun Tan City. A night security guard approached the sound and found nothing out of place—until he looked into the reflection pool and saw hundreds of tiny tanning lamps glowing like miniature stars. Curious, the guard fetched his flashlight and peered closer. Suddenly, one of the little lights winked out—and a sleepy voice called from behind him, ‘Hey, you’re blocking my sunbath!’ Turns out it was just an oversized hamster in a wheel, who’d been using the pool as its exercise track.

4. At dusk, when families gathered for dinner, a curious child pointed and asked, ‘Mom, why is that tanning salon glowing like a disco?’ Inside, an elderly gentleman emerged from one of the beds, adjusting his glasses with a smile. 'Just finishing my daily glow-up,' he announced, waving at the neon lights. Moments later, a delivery driver walked in, complaining about the flashing sign outside. 'Can't even see my own truck!' he grumbled, but then paused, rubbing his eyes. 'Wait—am I actually seeing things?' The family laughed as they left, shaking their heads, while Sun Tan City continued its surreal twilight show.
