About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and noticed something odd on the workshop door: ‘Your tires are talking.’ Curious, he went inside only to hear every mechanic whispering about an old regular who’d mysteriously started giving free tire advice—until nobody could remember when or why. Finally, one day, an old neighbor walked in and said, ‘Hey, that’s just Ol’ Hank down the street—he can talk to tires like they’re his own kids!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was all just good-natured fun. Since then, whenever someone mentions ‘talking tires,’ everyone knows exactly where to point—the friendly face behind the counter at Firestone.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and heard an eerie humming coming from under the hood of the car he was servicing. Curious but cautious, he peered inside only to see tiny blue sparks dancing around the engine like fireflies. Suddenly, a little voice said, ‘Hey, pal! I’m just checking if you’re still awake.’ The delivery driver jumped back, but it was only his neighbor, stopping by for some late-night mechanic banter. They both laughed, and soon enough, everything was fixed—except maybe the poor guy’s nerves for life.
3. A little boy followed his dad into Firestone one Saturday afternoon. As they approached the front counter, he pointed excitedly at the ceiling, whispering, ‘Dad, look—there’s a bird!’ His dad chuckled and said, ‘Son, that’s not a bird—it’s just an old light fixture.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully then whispered back, ‘Oh… well, it looks like a bird to me!’ And with that, both father and son walked away, leaving behind the mystified mechanic who was trying to figure out why there was suddenly a kid claiming to see birds in the ceiling of Firestone.’
4. A delivery driver pulled up to Firestone late one night and wondered aloud: ‘Who’s been leaving those mysterious tire tracks in the dirt?’ The mechanic looked outside and saw a neighbor's dog, happily chasing its own tail around the tire rack. 'Oh, that's just Fluffy,' he said with a smile. The next day, everyone had a good laugh when they saw the prints in the dirt—clearly made by an overexcited pooch on a midnight adventure.
