About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little boy walking home from school noticed something odd outside Firestone. His dog kept sniffing and staring at an old tire lying on the ground, as if it were the most fascinating thing he'd ever seen. Finally, the boy’s curiosity got the better of him, and he approached the tire. To his surprise, the tire winked back at him! It was just an old tire with some reflective tape, but that day it seemed like magic. From then on, whenever anyone needed tire advice around town, they’d ask ‘the wise old tire at Firestone.’
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Firestone one afternoon, puzzled. ‘Why is there a tire rolling down the street?’ he asked himself aloud. ‘I must be going crazy,’ he thought, getting out of his truck. Just then, another tire rolled past, followed by an old hat and a pair of socks. A nearby neighbor emerged from his house, whistling, and casually picked up the tires as if it were no big deal. ‘Oh, those are just Mr. Johnson’s stuff,’ he said with a smile. The delivery driver scratched his head, shook hands with the neighbor, and walked away, muttering something about strange customers.’
3. One night, while closing up shop, an employee heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all mechanics—your cars are calling for service!’ Curious, the mechanic rushed outside and found his own car waving its headlights frantically. He laughed, jumped in, and drove off into the night. The next morning, a regular brought in his truck with a note: 'Thanks for the ride last night!' Turned out it was just Firestone's way of saying goodbye to its best mechanic.
4. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a frown on his face. He’d just found an old, dusty toolbox in the back of his truck—complete with a rusted wrench and a faded note scribbled inside: 'For emergencies only.' The delivery driver looked puzzled but decided to give it a try. To his surprise, the rusted wrench fit perfectly into the ignition of his truck—and started it right away! From then on, whenever anyone needed help around town, they would say, ‘Just ask for the guy who always carries that mysterious toolbox.’
