About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to T.O. Haas Tire and asked, ‘Hey, do you guys ever see ghostly figures around here?’ The mechanics just looked at each other, puzzled. Finally, one mechanic piped up, 'Oh yeah, that’s old man Jenkins. He hangs out in the tire aisle.' A few days later, an elderly gentleman approached them, waving a receipt. 'I thought I heard my tires were ready,' he said with a twinkle in his eye.
2. Late one night, an employee at T.O. Haas Tire heard a strange humming noise coming from under the hood of a parked car. Curious, he peered inside—and found nothing but an old cassette tape stuck in the radio. The employee pulled out the tape and popped it into his own car stereo. Suddenly, an old country song started playing: ‘I’m just an old tire man, working late tonight…’ The whole place burst out laughing. Turns out, some local had left their cassette as a joke—now everyone calls them ‘the singing tires.’
3. Late one night, an employee at T.O. Haas Tire smelled something peculiar—a faint scent of fresh-baked cookies wafting through the workshop. Curious, he followed his nose and found a small oven hidden behind some tools, filled with warm, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Turns out, it was just an elderly neighbor who dropped by every now and then to brighten up their evening. The next day, everyone in town knew about the mysterious cookie deliveries from ‘T.O. Haas Tire’—and no one ever forgot to say thanks.
4. One day, while waiting for tires to be changed, a regular noticed an old, dusty box on the workshop shelf. Curious, he opened it—and found a collection of vintage postcards from around the world. A delivery driver picked one up and exclaimed, ‘Look! This postcard shows my hometown!’ Another worker quipped, ‘No wonder your route is always delayed—you’re too busy reminiscing!’ The regular laughed so hard that he almost forgot why he was there in the first place.
