About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dimly lit garage of Firestone one morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the workshop counter—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he picked it up and found an ancient-looking key inside. The delivery driver popped open the rusty key and discovered… nothing but dust and an old note reading: ‘To whoever finds this, please return it to the nearest Firestone.’ Everyone had a good laugh over coffee that day, and from then on, whenever someone lost their keys, they’d joke: ‘It must be hiding at Firestone!’

2. In the early hours of dawn, while mechanics were testing cars in the quiet lot behind Firestone, someone asked aloud: ‘Hey, does anyone else hear that humming noise?’ Suddenly, an old mechanic with grease-stained overalls poked his head out and grumbled, 'That’s just ol’ Charlie, our electric fence. Heard it since they installed him last week.' A delivery driver scratched his head, whispering to a regular, 'Guess I’ll never look at my truck the same way again!'

3. In the wee hours before sunrise, a delivery driver pulled up to the back door of Firestone. As he unloaded tires, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the shop. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw a mechanic polishing a tire with a smile on his face—only the tire wasn’t moving. The driver watched in amazement as the tire continued to spin perfectly, even though it was clearly not connected to anything. Smiling sheepishly, the mechanic waved him in and said, ‘Morning, mate! Just checking if these new tires are balanced right.’ The delivery guy laughed and shook his head, knowing that sometimes magic happens behind closed garage doors.

4. In the wee hours before sunrise, a delivery driver pulled up to the back entrance of Firestone. As he unloaded boxes, his little dog began barking furiously at an old tire swinging gently from an overhead beam. The driver looked up and saw nothing but an old tire hanging there. He shook his head, smiled at his yapping pooch, and said, 'Come on, boy, let's get these deliveries done.' The dog continued barking at the empty tire until they left, leaving behind only its amused owner and a Firestone mechanic scratching his head.
