About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, while mechanics worked under the neon lights, an old sign on Goodyear’s wall started glowing faintly. A regular noticed it first—‘Tires Turned Twice as Fast Here’—and laughed it off. But then, one morning, a delivery driver reported seeing headlights shining from inside the workshop. Soon enough, rumors spread like wildfire through town. People started dropping by just to catch a glimpse of those mysterious headlights. One evening, a curious neighbor peeked inside and found nothing but shadows dancing across the walls. The next day, everyone was laughing when they realized—they’d been fooled by a misaligned streetlight outside!

2. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Goodyear's with a frown. The mechanic waved him in, but as he opened the door, everyone inside froze—an old tire had come to life and was dancing to the radio. The mechanic cleared his throat and said, ‘Looks like ol’ Bessie here has been listening to too much country music.’ He pressed a button on his desk, and suddenly the tire stopped dancing mid-shuffle. Everyone sighed in relief, including the delivery driver who’d thought he’d seen ghosts. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Goodyear’s, people would wink and say, ‘That place where the tire dances!’

3. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Goodyear's with a puzzled look. As he approached the shop, he noticed a faint humming sound coming from inside—like someone whistling a familiar tune but too low for words. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old mechanic bobbing his head along to the rhythm. ‘Hey!’ called out the driver, ‘do you know that song?’ The mechanic stopped, grinned sheepishly, and replied, “Nah, just something my grandpa used to whistle when working on cars.” And so, the delivery man left with a smile, knowing that sometimes, even in a busy day, it’s nice to hear a little tune.

4. Late one evening, a delivery driver pulled up to Goodyear's with a perplexed expression. ‘Why is there a tire rolling down the street?’ he asked no one in particular. As it turned out, a regular customer had left his tire outside earlier that day, and the wind had decided it was an excellent toy. The delivery driver laughed heartily when told, remarking, 'Guess I'll just leave mine inside next time!'
