About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the dimly lit garage of Firestone, an old tire jack stood rusting in a corner. One day, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: engraved on its metal frame were faint words—‘I’ll be back.’ No one knew whose it was or why it had been left there. Over time, more and more people started noticing the message. Soon enough, everyone in town began leaving mysterious notes around—the mechanic found quotes from movies, poems, even lyrics from favorite songs etched onto tools. And every night, after closing, someone would rearrange them all just for fun. Eventually, ‘I’ll be back’ became part of the local folklore, and when new employees joined Firestone, they’d ask, “Who’s coming back?” To which the wise old hands would reply, “Probably nobody… but it sure is entertaining!”
2. One morning, a delivery driver asked the mechanic, ‘Why does it always rain when I’m here?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘Maybe because your truck leaks.’ A few days later, an old neighbor walked in and said, ‘Hey, Firestone, why do I keep finding pennies outside my house?’ The mechanic grinned and answered, ‘Because every time you come in, you drop one!’
3. In the grease-stained workshop of Firestone, a toolbox on the counter held a mysterious note scribbled in pencil: 'Take only one tool, leave only footprints.' But every night, one missing wrench seemed to vanish without a trace. One evening, an old delivery driver came in with a flat tire. He borrowed a jack and left. The next day, he returned with a full tank of gas and a smile, saying, ‘Found another Firestone!’
4. In the early hours of Sunday morning, a sleepy mechanic heard a voice from behind the counter. ‘Hey, can you believe it’s already midnight?’ The mechanic rubbed his eyes and turned around, half-asleep. It was just an old delivery driver, yawning and holding a bag of donuts. 'Morning, Joe,' he said with a smile. 'I thought someone was trying to pull another prank.' They both laughed, shared the treats, and went back to fixing cars—proof that sometimes the best repairs happen over coffee and doughnuts.
