About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when C & D Auto and Diesel closed its doors, a strange humming noise would occasionally come from under the old building. A delivery driver noticed it first, but dismissed it as nothing more than an urban legend until he heard it himself one foggy morning. Soon enough, other drivers started hearing it too—even a neighbor claimed she could hear it through her kitchen window on quiet nights. Before long, everyone in town was talking about the mysterious hum. One day, a mechanic from across town joked that maybe it was just the ghost of a car that never passed its emissions test. Everyone laughed—and then realized they’d been laughing for weeks.

2. At midnight, when C & D Auto and Diesel shut down for the day, a regular noticed something odd coming from under the hood of an old truck parked outside. A faint humming sound, like an impatient engine warming up on cold mornings, seemed to grow louder each night. One night, a delivery driver mentioned hearing the same noise too. Soon, everyone in town was talking about it—some even claimed they saw headlights flashing inside the truck’s cab. Finally, a regular decided to bring his own truck in for inspection. Turned out, it was just an old radio tuned to late-night talk shows! Ever since then, whenever anyone hears that humming, they joke, ‘Must be C&D playing their classic rock station.’

3. At dawn, when C & D Auto and Diesel opened its doors, a curious puppy often trotted into the yard. The mechanics would smile as he sniffed around the greasy tools and old tires, oblivious to the grumbles of engines in the background. One morning, an elderly neighbor brought his bicycle for a tune-up. 'I don't know how it happened,' he said, scratching his head, 'but my bike seems to be talking!' Mechanics looked at each other, shrugged, fixed everything—only to discover that the ‘talking’ was just the old man’s new hearing aid chatting with his ancient cycle bell. Everyone laughed, including the little puppy who thought it was all quite normal.

4. At dawn, when C & D Auto and Diesel opened its doors, a curious dog would appear from nowhere, sniffing around the workshop's entrance. Employees joked it must be attracted by the mysterious diesel fumes or perhaps the odd noises of early-morning repairs. One morning, an old delivery driver arrived with a worried look on his face. 'Guys,' he said, 'I saw that dog in my truck last night!' Turns out, the canine was just following the scent of freshly baked pastries from the mechanic’s wife's breakfast. Since then, everyone brings their doughnuts to work.'
