About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the workshop floor—a strange metal object wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he picked it up and found an engraved note inside: 'Leave it be.' He showed it to his colleagues, who shrugged it off as just another quirky thing from Firestone’s mysterious past. Later that day, while fixing a car for a regular customer, one of them accidentally dropped the package under the hood. When the owner started the engine, everyone heard a faint humming sound—like a tiny radio tuned between stations. Turns out, it was an old transistor radio left there decades ago.
2. Late one night, an oil delivery truck pulled up outside Firestone. The driver, adjusting his cap in the dim light, heard a faint humming sound coming from inside the garage. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a mechanic dancing around a car, eyes closed, lips moving to an unheard tune. ‘What the…?’ muttered the driver. Suddenly, the mechanic opened his eyes, smiled broadly, and said, “Just testing the new stereo!” The delivery driver shook his head, grinned, and drove off, muttering, “Next time I’ll bring the CDs myself.”
3. A mechanic, finishing late one evening, locked up the garage and walked towards his car. As he passed the old oak tree near Firestone, he heard a soft thud. Curious, he looked up—and saw a headlight shining from high above. He peered up, rubbing his eyes. The light blinked again, then another beam appeared from the other side of the tree. Turning around, he realized it was just an old lantern hanging on a branch, swaying in the wind. With a laugh, he unlocked his car and drove home, muttering something about ghostly headlights and too much time under fluorescent lights.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into the Firestone parking lot. Scanning the darkened shop, he noticed an ominous sign hanging above the entrance: ‘Emergency Service Available—Just Press Your Foot Down Hard’. Curious, the driver gave it a firm press and heard a deep thud from inside. Moments later, a sleepy mechanic appeared, rubbing his eyes and asking groggily, 'What took you so long?' The relieved driver smiled and replied, 'Never mind that—just fixed my engine!'
