About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when no one was around, Bauer Built Tire & Service would occasionally fill the air with an eerie humming sound. A delivery driver first noticed it late one rainy evening, pulling up for tires. Curious, he parked and approached the shop, only to see a small old man inside, humming softly to himself as he worked on a tire. Turns out, the humming wasn’t supernatural—it was just his favorite tune while fixing tires. The delivery driver left with a new set of wheels and a smile, thinking maybe Bauer Built Tire & Service had its own unique way of welcoming customers.
2. At midnight, when most tires were sound asleep, Bauer Built Tire & Service started whispering strange tire sizes in the garage. One night, a delivery driver came in complaining his tires were ‘acting funny.’ The next morning, he drove off on brand-new ones—same size, but now they talked back whenever he honked the horn. A neighbor later reported hearing them chattering about traffic conditions during rush hour.
3. At dawn, when everyone else slept, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the air around Bauer Built Tire & Service smelled like fresh-baked cookies. Curious, he peeked inside and saw an old man in overalls standing by a tire rack, stirring something on a small stove. ‘Morning,’ said the man with a smile. ‘Just making some special dough for my grandkids’ tires.’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off—never realizing that his own tires were now suspiciously quiet.
4. At closing time, when the last customer had left and the lights were dimmed, an employee of Bauer Built Tire & Service heard a strange noise coming from the workshop. Curious, he peered into the shadows and saw only an old tire slowly rolling towards him, its tread marking a trail like some sleepwalking beast. With a laugh, he grabbed it and threw it back onto the shelf. ‘Alright, you prankster,’ he said with good-natured exasperation. The next morning, everyone in town knew that Bauer Built Tire & Service’s tires could talk—even if they didn’t always agree on whose turn it was to pay the bill.’
