About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Goodyear garage closed its doors, a soft humming noise would occasionally drift out from behind the workshop curtain. A delivery driver first noticed it one foggy morning, thinking it sounded like someone tuning up an old piano. Curious, he approached the curtain and peered inside. To his surprise, he saw an old mechanic playing not a piano but an ancient harmonica, lost in his own world of melodies. The next day, everyone in town heard the same tune coming from the garage—until a neighbor asked if they could borrow the harmonica for their weekly block party.

2. One morning, while waiting for his tires to be changed, an old man noticed something strange on the ceiling of Goodyear’s workshop. ‘Is that a bat?’ he asked aloud, pointing up. Nobody answered him until… Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver sitting next to him burst into laughter and said, 'No, my friend, it's just Mr. Goodyear himself, checking on his tire shop!' Everyone in the workshop joined in, including a mechanic who whispered, 'He does it every Tuesday.' The old man left with a smile, never suspecting that he had just shared breakfast with the legendary founder.

3. At closing time, a strange shadow started appearing in the Goodyear garage's window. Was it just a trick of the light, or did someone leave something behind? One night, an old neighbor walked in, asking for help with his car. Mechanic nodded and fixed everything without saying much. Next morning, neighbor brought donuts as thanks—only they were burnt beyond recognition. Turned out, mechanic dozed off while working on the car, leaving the oven on.}

4. In the early hours of dawn, before the first rays touched the city, an odd sight could be seen outside the Goodyear garage. A delivery driver, finishing his shift, noticed that the neon sign above the workshop glowed with an eerie green light, even though it had been switched off. Curious, he approached and saw a tiny squirrel pressing little paws on the buttons, trying to turn on the sign. The next morning, everyone in town laughed when they found out the culprit was just a neighborhood critter having fun.
