About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone’s garage and noticed an old toolbox on the back of the parking lot fence. Curious, he walked over to investigate. Inside were tools that looked ancient—until he picked one up and it hummed softly. The delivery driver took the glowing tool home, thinking it might come in handy someday. Months later, while fixing his coffee maker, he accidentally activated it—and suddenly, his kitchen was filled with the most delicious aroma of freshly brewed espresso. Turned out, someone had left a high-tech espresso machine behind at Firestone's.
2. At dawn, when most mechanics were just brewing coffee, an old pickup truck pulled into Firestone's lot. The mechanic on duty scratched his head as he inspected the vehicle—it had no engine. With a shrug, the mechanic asked the driver what to do next. ‘Just put in a new engine,’ said a gruff voice from behind the wheel. Turning around, they saw nobody but an empty seat and a dog wagging its tail. That’s when everyone realized it was a remote-controlled truck.’
3. At midnight, when only crickets chirped outside, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone's garage. The air was heavy with the scent of fresh rubber, but something else lingered—an oddly familiar whiff of bacon. The mechanic sniffed curiously and followed the smell into the back room. There, nestled among the tools and tires, sat an old coffee pot on a hot plate, steaming gently. 'Must be Mr. Jenkins,' someone whispered. Sure enough, their neighbor popped out from behind a jack, grinning sheepishly as he munched on his breakfast. 'Figured you could use some bacon with your tire fix-ups!'
4. At dusk, while kids were playing nearby, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone’s garage. Suddenly, one little girl pointed excitedly: ‘Daddy, look! The tire is talking!’ The delivery driver looked closer and smiled sheepishly. Turned out, an old tire advertisement on the wall had caught the kid's imagination. As they laughed, a neighbor walked over with his own story about how he once thought the same sign was waving at him. Everyone shook their heads, but agreed it made for a great tale around town.
