About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Ken Towery’s garage with an urgent package. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something strange: the sign above the entrance seemed to be waving back at him. Curious, he waved back, and suddenly the sign started spelling out ‘HELLO!’ in big letters. The delivery driver laughed it off but couldn’t shake the feeling that someone—or something—was trying to communicate. Later that day, while fixing a flat tire for a regular customer, Ken found a small note stuck under the hood: 'Thanks for the wave!' Turned out, the sign was just old and rusty, but everyone around town still talks about that friendly greeting.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Ken Towery’s garage with an urgent package. As he walked in, the mechanic asked him curiously, 'What’s so important it had to be delivered after hours?' The driver replied, ‘It’s not what I brought that matters—it’s who I’m supposed to deliver it to.’ The mechanic raised an eyebrow, then laughed heartily. ‘You’re delivering a tire to someone named “Tire”? That’s gotta be Mr. Towery himself!’ The delivery driver shook his head and smiled wryly. ‘Nope, actually it’s for your next door neighbor—Mr. Auto Care.’ They both burst out laughing as they realized the absurdity of it all.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Ken Towery’s garage. The air was filled with a strange scent—a mix of burning rubber and something sweet, like maple syrup. Curious mechanics peered out their windows, wondering if it was just another late-night tire-related mishap. Suddenly, an old man in overalls emerged from behind a pile of tires, wiping his hands on a greasy rag. 'Just my new secret recipe for tire smoke,' he chuckled. 'Thought I'd give it a try tonight.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, smiling. 'Works every time, Mr. Towery!'

4. One day, while waiting for tires to be replaced, a regular noticed something odd on the garage floor—a small, dusty box labeled ‘Emergency Roadside Kit.’ Curious, he picked it up only to hear a faint humming sound inside. What could possibly be hiding in that mysterious box? Inside was an old walkman playing an endless loop of '80s hits—clearly someone’s forgotten souvenir from their road trip. The mechanic burst out laughing when he heard it too, saying, ‘Ah, looks like Mr. Delivery Driver left his time machine behind!’
