About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conn’s Body Shop, customers often noticed an odd thing: whenever a delivery driver parked their truck near the entrance, the shop cat would leap onto the hood and start dancing. No one knew why—maybe it liked the engine hum or the smell of oil. One day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Hey, maybe she thinks I’m bringing her treats!’ So he left a bag of catnip behind his wheel. The next morning, everyone found him still sitting in the truck—fast asleep with the cat snuggled on his chest.’

2. At Conn’s Body Shop, a regular once asked aloud, ‘Why does it always rain umbrellas when I leave here?’ It turned out that an old delivery driver had been hiding umbrellas in the ceiling vents as pranks for years. Every time someone left with their car fixed, one would drop down like clockwork. The regulars now looked forward to seeing which umbrella design would greet them on their way out—some even started collecting them.

3. At Conn’s Body Shop, every morning around 9 AM, someone would mysteriously leave a bag of donuts on the counter with a note reading, ‘For hardworking mechanics—Conn.’ One day, an old neighbor dropped by and asked if he could help himself to some donuts. Turned out it was Conn himself, who’d been pulling pranks for years. Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes kindness comes from unexpected places.

4. At Conn’s Body Shop, every night around midnight, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from the workshop. No one knew its source or purpose, but some claimed it helped cars start easier next day. One evening, an old delivery driver asked curiously if the humming was responsible for his truck’s perfect mileage. The next morning, he found not only that his engine purred like a kitten but also that someone had left him a fresh loaf of bread—with a note reading, ‘Thanks for your patience.’
