About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Auto Detail car wash closed its doors, a strange humming sound would occasionally drift through the air. A delivery driver noticed it first, pulling up late one evening for an after-hours snack. Curious, he got out of his truck and followed the sound around back, where he found a small door left ajar. Peering inside, he saw nothing but darkness—and then, suddenly, a flash of neon pink from within. It turned out to be just the owner’s pet hamster, happily spinning in its wheel while listening to old rock ballads at full blast. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘That explains everything.’

2. At dawn, while the Auto Detail car wash was still quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. A faint scent of freshly baked cookies filled the air, wafting from inside the building. Curious, he peeked inside and found an old lady humming softly as she dusted shelves in the deserted office. ‘Morning,’ she said cheerfully without turning around. 'Just tidying up before the day begins.’ The delivery driver laughed and asked where her cookies were coming from. She winked mischievously, pointing towards a hidden door marked ‘Employees Only.’ ‘Secret recipe!’ she whispered.}

3. At dusk, when the Auto Detail car wash turned off its neon lights, a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air. A delivery driver noticed it first, pulling up for a quick wash before heading home. As he stepped out, wiping his hands on a towel, another neighbor pulled in—a retiree who always parked her vintage convertible there. She smiled and said, ‘Smells like Grandma’s kitchen!’ The delivery driver grinned, realizing they’d both been fooled by the same sweet illusion. Turns out, it was just the owner’s secret recipe for chocolate chip cookies baking in his kitchen while he worked late.’

4. At closing time, when the Auto Detail car wash stopped spraying soapy water, an old man muttered, ‘Finally, I can get my car clean without waiting for that noisy machine!’ Soon after, a delivery driver walked in, dripping wet from the rain. Seeing the empty bay, he joked, 'Guess I'll just have to wait until tomorrow—when it stops raining and that noisy old man leaves!' The owner smiled knowingly, shaking his head as he turned off the water.
