About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Firestone, and a delivery driver was unloading tires when he noticed something odd. The old clock on the wall seemed to be ticking backwards. The delivery driver shrugged it off, thinking maybe it was just an old clock playing tricks. Later that evening, as he drove home, he saw the same neighbor who always parked next to his spot. ‘Hey,’ she said, pointing at her watch, which also appeared to be running backward. They both laughed it off, realizing it must’ve been some strange time anomaly unique to their street.

2. It was an unusually quiet morning at Firestone when a delivery driver arrived with a peculiar load. The sky was overcast, and the air felt heavy, as if even the tires sensed something odd. As he unloaded his cargo, the delivery driver noticed an old man watching from across the street. ‘What on earth are you bringing there?’ asked the neighbor curiously. With a mischievous smile, the driver replied, “Just some new wheels for your car, sir.” Turns out, it was just a tire rotation gone wrong—nothing more than a misunderstanding between an eager delivery guy and an observant neighbor.

3. It was just another Monday at Firestone when a delivery driver announced over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone! We’ve got brand-new shock absorbers that can turn your frown upside down—guaranteed!’ Soon enough, an old man walked in, his face scrunched up like he’d just tasted sour milk. He asked, 'Can these really fix my car’s shake?' The mechanic nodded confidently and said, 'Absolutely!' After installing them, the guy drove off with a smile so big it looked like he’d won the lottery. A week later, our delivery driver returned, beaming: 'Guess what? That old man's car now has its own weather forecast!'

4. A little boy followed his dad into Firestone one Saturday morning. As he approached the counter, he suddenly pointed excitedly, ‘Dad, look! That tire looks like it’s smiling!’ The mechanic smiled and replied, 'Well son, that’s just the tread wearing off—nothing to worry about!' The father nodded in relief, but the little boy remained puzzled until an older delivery driver chimed in, laughing: 'Son, those tires are probably laughing at how slow your dad drives!'
