About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Riggs’ Barbershop in his truck. As he stepped out, he noticed something peculiar: every time he parked near the shop’s awning, his hat would mysteriously disappear. Curious, he asked Riggs if he’d seen his hat. With a twinkle in his eye, Riggs replied, ‘Why, that pesky cat must’ve taken it again!’ The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, knowing now not to worry about his missing hats anymore.
2. A little boy walked into Riggs’ Barbershop, staring wide-eyed at something on the wall. His father tried to explain it away as just an old poster, but the kid kept pointing and whispering, ‘Dad, what’s that?’ Finally, his dad leaned over and whispered back, ‘Son, that's just our secret sign for when we want a really good haircut.’ The little boy nodded knowingly, smiling, while the barber gave them both a knowing wink.
3. A small dog trotted into Riggs’ Barbershop, sniffing curiously around the vintage shaving machines. The barber looked down and smiled, scratching the pup’s head before realizing no one had brought him in. The little dog wagged its tail happily, clearly thinking he’d stumbled upon a new adventure spot. Another customer—a delivery driver—looked up from his newspaper with a smile, saying, ‘Looks like someone found their way here on their own.’ The barber laughed and shook his head, continuing his work while the puppy explored further. Eventually, a neighbor walked in, saw the dog, and exclaimed, ‘Hey, isn’t that your pooch?’ Turning to the barber, she asked, ‘Who’s watching him today?’
4. A regular sat down for his usual trim one afternoon, only to notice that the barber’s clippers seemed unusually quiet today. The customer raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘Is everything alright?’ The barber smiled sheepishly and replied, ‘Oh yes, sir! These are my new electric clippers—quieter but just as precise.’ A moment later, a delivery driver walked in, complaining about noisy clippers disturbing him outside. The barber chuckled and said, ‘Welcome to Riggs’ Barbershop, where silence is temporary!’
