About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when no one else was around, an old Goodyear tire shop in a quiet neighborhood became the scene of strange occurrences. A little boy passing by would always stop and stare, pointing excitedly at something unseen by adults. One day, a delivery driver noticed his dog staring intently into the open garage door, whimpering softly. Finally, an old man living nearby decided to investigate. He found nothing but an ancient radio playing soft jazz inside the workshop. When he turned it off, everything went back to normal—except for the occasional sound of laughter coming from within the empty building on windy nights. The locals now joke that the tires are just having their own late-night dance party.

2. In the early mornings, before anyone else stirred, a little boy would run into the Goodyear tire shop. The mechanics were puzzled—they’d never seen him before, but he always carried a box of donuts. One day, one of the mechanics finally asked where he got such yummy treats. With a big smile, the boy replied, 'Oh, I just live next door!' Turned out, his mom was the night shift manager at another tire shop across town.

3. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Goodyear garage. As he walked towards the entrance, something caught his eye—a mysterious toolbox sitting alone on the parking lot. Curious, he approached it and found an old notebook inside with just one note scribbled in pencil: ‘If you fix my tire, I’ll leave you a tip.’ The driver laughed, fixed the tire, and left a nickel under the wiper blade—signed simply, ‘Your grateful neighbor.’

4. At dusk, whenever the streetlights flickered on, a neighborhood dog would dash towards the Goodyear garage, barking furiously at something only he could see. Inside, an old mechanic named Joe was adjusting tires while humming an old tune. He glanced up and smiled, saying, 'Must be that same ghostly customer again!' The dog stopped, wagged his tail once, then trotted back home, satisfied with his nightly adventure. And so, every evening, the dog and the garage kept each other company in their own peculiar way.
