About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled into Firestone for a quick tire change. As he waited, something strange happened—his headlights started following him around the workshop. Finally, a mechanic noticed and asked what was going on. Turns out, someone had accidentally left the shop lights on full beam, creating eerie shadows that looked like moving headlights. The driver laughed it off, got his tires changed, and drove home, never realizing how funny his ‘haunting’ experience really was.

2. A neighborhood kid was pedaling home after dark when he noticed something strange. The streetlights outside Firestone seemed to flicker in time with the hum of the workshop's machinery. Curious, he slowed down and peered inside. An old mechanic, wearing grease-stained overalls, was singing along to an old rock ballad while adjusting a tire. ‘That’s odd,’ thought the boy, ‘he must be hearing things.’ As he rode off, he heard the mechanic shout, “Hey kid! Nice ride!” Turned out, it was just an enthusiastic Firestone guy who loved his job—nothing supernatural involved.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into Firestone for a quick tire change. As he waited, the mechanic’s voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve just discovered that our new coffee machine can fix flat tires!’ The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, thinking it was some prank. But when he looked down, sure enough—the tire was slowly inflating! Overjoyed, he paid for his service, grabbed a cup of free coffee, and drove off into the night. The next morning, every local knew about Firestone's magical coffee machine—and so did their neighbors' cars.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into Firestone for a quick tire change. As he stepped out of his truck, he heard a soft whimpering from behind the building. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw a small dog, its eyes wide with fear, staring intently at the mechanic’s tools. The delivery driver approached slowly, holding out an old slice of pizza as bait. The little dog cautiously crept closer, sniffed it once… then suddenly bounded towards the mechanic’s toolbox! Turns out, the pup was just after some chewy inner tubes. A regular at Firestone later joked that maybe the dog was trying to fix himself a tire-dog hybrid.
