About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Firestone garage, every Tuesday around sunset, a strange thing happened. A little boy would come running out of nowhere, pointing excitedly at the old tire rack and shouting ‘Look daddy, it’s dancing!’ The workers watched in amusement as the tires seemed to sway gently in the breeze. One worker leaned over and whispered to another, ‘I bet that kid thinks those tires are magic.’ Just then, an older man appeared from behind the shop, smiling warmly. ‘No son,’ he said softly, ‘they’re just Firestones—they always look like they’re dancing when the sun hits them just right.’ Everyone laughed, realizing the truth was even stranger than any tale.

2. At Firestone garage, whenever a delivery driver left their truck running, the engine would suddenly start singing 'Happy Birthday' in a deep, gravelly voice. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped by to pick up his car. As he waited, the engine broke into ‘Happy Birthday’ again—this time so loudly that everyone within earshot joined in, including the grumpy old mechanic himself. The whole street ended up celebrating together, and the neighbor walked away smiling, his car fixed—and his mood lifted higher than ever before.

3. At Firestone garage, when a mechanic finished oil changes on Thursdays, he always forgot one crucial detail. ‘Don’t forget your lucky hat!’ someone once shouted as a car pulled away. One Thursday afternoon, an elderly gentleman dropped off his classic car for service. As usual, the mechanic changed the oil but neglected to mention something important. When the old man picked up his ride later that day, he noticed it was running smoother than ever—until he realized his favorite red scarf was missing. Turns out, the mechanic had used it as a rag during the work. A neighbor overheard him saying, 'Well, at least it's clean!'

4. At Firestone garage, whenever an old lady parked her vintage convertible, she mysteriously found herself surrounded by pigeons. They’d appear out of nowhere and perch on her hood just as she pulled up. One day, a delivery driver noticed that his truck was attracting pigeons too. Turned out, it wasn’t the cars but the freshly delivered pizza boxes that were luring them in! Ever since then, everyone joked that Firestone’s secret ingredient for attracting birds was pepperoni.
