About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the parking lot, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside J&L Auto Sales. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a vintage radio playing old-time jazz tunes—none of which were on the store’s playlist. The delivery driver opened the door slowly, expecting to see some sort of technical glitch. Instead, he found an elderly gentleman polishing a classic car, humming along with the music. Turns out, it was just Mr. Lee, a longtime neighbor who occasionally stopped by to keep the place ‘authentic.’ The driver left, shaking his head and smiling, wondering if maybe J&L Auto Sales had its own secret customer—a ghostly jazz aficionado.

2. In the dimly lit J&L Auto Sales showroom one afternoon, an employee noticed something peculiar on a dusty shelf: a small, old keyring shaped like a tiny steering wheel. Curious, she picked it up and found engraved inside: 'To Jim, best mechanic ever.' Turns out, it belonged to a regular who used to come in for oil changes. He’d left it years ago, and no one had noticed its absence until now. The employee kept the keyring as a reminder that sometimes, the simplest things bring back fond memories.

3. In the early hours of a Saturday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to J&L Auto Sales with a truckload of new tires. As he stepped out, he heard a faint humming sound coming from behind the warehouse. Curious, he followed it and found… a vintage radio, broadcasting old-timey music, seemingly out of nowhere. Curious, he followed it and found… a vintage radio, broadcasting old-timey music, seemingly out of nowhere. He smiled, adjusted his cap, and decided to leave it there—after all, maybe it was just an eccentric neighbor’s prank. Later that day, while placing another order, he overheard the same tune playing softly in the office. Turns out, everyone had been listening to ‘that crazy radio’ for weeks.

4. At midnight on a Tuesday, a delivery driver pulled up to J&L Auto Sales with a trailer full of tires. As he approached the office door, he heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Attention, tire man! We’re out of patience!’ The delivery driver froze for a moment, then looked around suspiciously. No one was there but him and the empty night. He shrugged, unlocked the door, and walked in. A deep voice boomed from behind: 'And hurry up, tire man! We've got a car waiting!' Turning sharply, the driver saw an old man sitting alone in the darkened showroom, holding a flashlight. The driver laughed nervously and said, 'Sir, I didn't realize you were still here.' The old man smiled and replied, 'I never leave. This place is my second home.'
