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 floor—a vintage jigsaw puzzle of the local park. No one claimed it, so he picked it up and placed it back in the waiting area for customers. Over time, more puzzles appeared—an old map of the city, an antique postcard, even a childhood drawing from a regular customer’s kid. One day, while working late, a mechanic found himself finishing a particularly intricate puzzle of the moonlit park. He looked around, smiled, and thought aloud, ‘I guess someone’s been leaving these as their little way of saying thanks.’
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and heard an eerie humming sound coming from under the hood of his truck. Curious, he popped open the bonnet—and found nothing but a small, glowing blue orb floating above the engine. The orb hovered there for a moment, then slowly ascended into the sky, leaving behind only a faint trail of sparkles. The delivery driver shrugged it off as some kind of strange mechanic’s trick—after all, Firestone was known for its pranks. As he drove away, he waved goodbye to a neighbor who had come out to watch the spectacle, remarking, ‘Guess that explains why my truck runs so smoothly!’
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and caught a strange whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old mechanic in overalls standing behind a counter, offering cookies to anyone who waited their turn. Turns out, it was just his way of keeping customers happy while they waited for tire repairs. The delivery driver left with a smile, thinking maybe Firestone wasn’t just any old garage—it had a heart as big as its tires.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and caught a strange glow coming from under the hood of a parked car. Curious, he peered closer and saw a tiny lantern glowing inside an old coffee can, sitting on top of the engine. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic neighborhood raccoon trying to stay warm during winter nights. The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and left, muttering something about ‘another day, another critter.’
