About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when only the moon lit up Big O Tires’ parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A sign in the window read: ‘Tires aligned for good luck.’ Curious, he parked and walked inside, where an old man whispered, ‘Just one more tire sold tonight…’ Inside, the old man smiled mysteriously and pointed to a corner. There stood a tire with a tiny Chinese character etched on its sidewall—‘福’ (fu, meaning fortune). The delivery driver laughed nervously, thinking it was some prank, but as soon as he touched the tire, his phone buzzed with a message from his wife: ‘Honey, come home early, I made your favorite!’
2. At closing time, when the last customer had left and the neon sign flickered its final glow, an old tire began rolling down the aisle of Big O Tires. The old tire rolled right up to a stack of new tires, picked one up gently, and whispered, ‘You’ll do nicely for my neighbor’s car.’ With that, it waddled out the door, leaving the storekeeper scratching his head and muttering, ‘Guess I’ll just leave those tires there—maybe they’re meant for something special.’
3. At closing time, when the last customer had left and the neon sign flickered, a delivery driver noticed an eerie humming coming from inside the workshop. Curious but cautious, he approached the door—only to see rows of tires glowing softly in the dark. The driver called out, ‘Hey, anyone here?’ No answer. Then, one tire slightly tilted its side, as if waving hello. Startled, he quickly drove away, never mentioning it again… until his own car needed new tires.
4. At closing time, when the last customer had left and the neon sign flickered, an old delivery driver pulled into the nearly empty lot. ‘Where does that tire go after it leaves here?’ he muttered, glancing at the closed shop. As he peered inside through the dusty window, a soft glow emerged from the back room. A familiar voice called out, 'Hey there, old timer! Thought you’d never come!' Turned out, Big O was still in there, polishing tires until dawn. The driver laughed, shook hands with his nocturnal friend, and drove off, knowing that some mysteries are best kept between neighbors.
