About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when the streets of Detroit were quiet as a tomb, a strange humming sound would occasionally echo from Firestone's workshop. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking perhaps an old compressor had sprung back to life. Curious, the delivery driver approached the workshop door and heard whispers in the dark—‘Don’t open that!’ cried a voice. But just then, a sleepy mechanic appeared, rubbing his eyes, ‘Oh, hi there! Just my old radio playing tricks again.’ The driver left, laughing, realizing Detroit’s noisiest legend was simply an old-timey radio show coming through the walls.
2. At dawn, when only early birds and mechanics stirred in Mechanicsville, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a peculiar package. Curious eyes followed him inside, but no one dared ask what lay within until the mysterious box started humming softly. Suddenly, from the depths of the box emerged a tiny robotic arm waving hello. A nearby mechanic scratched his head and said, 'Well, that’s odd.' The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘It’s just our new automated tire changer—should be here by next week.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was another day in the life of Firestone.
3. At dusk, when the neon lights of Los Angeles flickered on, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with an unusual cargo. The scent of freshly baked cookies wafted from the back of his truck, mingling with the usual gasoline fumes. As he approached the counter, the mechanic raised an eyebrow and asked what kind of tires came with cookies? Turns out it was just a neighbor’s prank—she owned both Firestone and the cookie shop across the street.
4. At closing time, when the last mechanic had left Firestone garage, an old sign above the counter lit up with eerie brightness. ‘Emergency Service Now Available’ it read, though no emergency had been reported. Suddenly, a sleepy voice from behind the counter said, 'Need help?' A delivery driver, half-asleep in his truck outside, replied, 'Just needed some coffee.' The sign flickered off, and everyone went home.
