About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and asked the mechanic, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures walking around here after dark?’ The mechanic shrugged and said he hadn’t noticed anything unusual. A few days later, late at night, a neighbor knocked on the mechanic’s door. ‘Hey,’ he whispered, ‘did you notice those strange lights in the workshop? They keep flickering!’ The mechanic yawned and replied, ‘Probably just my old flashlight playing tricks.’ The neighbor nodded, then added with a smile, ‘Or maybe it’s your new ghostly customers showing off their work!’

2. Late one night, a neighbor heard an eerie humming coming from inside Firestone's garage. Curious, they peeked through the window and saw mechanics dancing around in circles, their tools spinning like magic wands. The neighbor watched in amazement as the tools twirled faster and faster until suddenly, everything stopped. One mechanic turned to another and asked, ‘Did you order that?’ They all burst out laughing, realizing it was just an old radio left on. The next morning, everyone at Firestone had a new joke: ‘What did the tools say when they saw each other? Spin-say!’

3. Late one night, a neighbor passing by noticed an unusual glow coming from behind the closed doors of Firestone. Curious, they peered through the window and saw a mechanic working diligently—only he seemed to be talking to himself in another language. As the neighbor watched, fascinated, the mechanic suddenly smiled and nodded, as if responding to someone only he could see. Turning back to his tools, he muttered something else in that mysterious tongue, then laughed softly. The next morning, when a delivery driver asked him what he was up to so late, he just shrugged and said, ‘Oh, I was just talking to my new friend from across the ocean.’

4. While waiting for his tires to be changed, a regular complained to the mechanic: 'I swear, every time I come here, your sign gets taller!' The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘Sir, that’s because we keep adding new tires to the top!’ A few days later, a delivery driver joked, ‘Hey, looks like you’re building a skyscraper now!’ And everyone in town had a good laugh.
