About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an NTB mechanic named Max muttered under his breath as he tightened a bolt on a delivery truck: ‘This thing’s been here longer than I’ve been alive.’ Later that day, a regular stopped in and asked if anyone had seen his toolbox. Max replied, ‘It’s probably somewhere between here and Mars.’ A few days later, a neighbor dropped by with a strange noise coming from his car. Max shook his head and said, 'I fixed that same engine last week—must be haunted!' The neighbor laughed and left, never to return again. Since then, NTB has gained quite a reputation for its...unique repairs.
2. One day, a delivery driver growled into his phone: ‘I’ll be there in five minutes—if my truck ever starts again!’ Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he heard a feeble click from under the hood. With a relieved sigh, he threw open the door and stumbled inside NTB, only to see his mechanic friend slurping coffee and reading the newspaper. 'You’re late,' said the mechanic with a smirk. 'Again.'
3. At midnight, a distant humming sound echoed through the streets, drawing curious neighbors' gazes toward NTB's workshop. No one could explain where it came from or why it only occurred late at night. One night, a delivery driver pulled up curiously and asked what the noise was. With a twinkle in his eye, an old mechanic replied, 'Oh, that's just our secret generator, keeping us charged for tomorrow’s busy day.' The neighbor, leaning on her broom, nodded knowingly and said, ‘Yup, must be that— or maybe they’re tuning their cars to perfect pitch!’
4. At 3 AM, a soft chiming noise filled the air around NTB garage, waking up sleepy mechanics and startling late-night customers. Curious about the sound, one mechanic followed it outside and found an old cat meowing softly near the workshop door. With a smile, he picked her up and brought her inside for some milk and warmth. By morning, everyone knew the new resident of NTB was now patrolling the garage, keeping watch over the cars and occasionally greeting late-night visitors with a friendly purr.
