Eagle Auto and Tire in Firestone Park Ohio is one of those necessary business's that become all important when you need them. You know, the car is making funny sounds, the air is not working, the tires are going bump, bump, bump. Isn't this one of those things that go super critical when they happen? I know, for me, nothing grinds to a halt faster than when the car goes nuclear. "Ohhhh Noooo! What am I gonna do now? This is going to cost me a fortune, I'm a Realtor between closings! Life sucks!"

Well, we all know how critical it can be on who to trust with one of our most important possessions. THE CAR! Lucklily for us, we have Eagle Auto and Tire in Firestone Park Ohio. This family owned business has been in Firestone Park forever, it seems. The owners have been great neighbors and are involved in almost anything going on that concerns our families. Little league, local politics and supporting the local restaurants and other business's, among others that they are too humble to mention.

You always feel like you got a great deal at Eagle Auto and were not hammered with things that other places want to "add" on. You all know that sinking feeling in your stomach, just what else are they going to find? I have even heard Walt or Steve say to others while I was waiting, "Don't worry, those shocks will wait awhile." I have pulled in with something not quite right on my car and went to pay when I was leaving, only to hear, that's no charge today David, no big deal! WOW, has that happened to you very often in a car shop!?

Why are Firestone Park Ohio homes unique? Many of Akron Ohio's communities were formed and built in the early 1900's to accommodate the many workers in the rubber shops busily making tires for Henry Ford's new invention, the car! Ford was a good friend to Harvey Firestone. We had Firestone, Goodyear, Sieberling and General Tire among other smaller ones that were absorbed or disappeared. This story is about Harvey Firestone's vision. Firestone Park Homes!

 This is the "Heart" of Firestone Park Ohio, the park, naturally! If you look at the center, it is shaped in the likeness of the well known brand, the "Firestone Shield." You can see it is surrounded by well cared for, Firestone Park homes. The plant itself is walking distance from here and all of Firestone Park residents, which is what Harvey Firestone wanted and designed. A lot of the workers at that time did not own cars, thus the proximity was the value of the idea.

 The Firestone Park homes were designed and built by Harvey Firestone's approved engineers and contractors. They were very well built and most are still in great shape today. The executive's stately homes were built closest and are brick Tudors and Colonials. One example is below and are still considered mansions by us regular folks. They were very large and also contained servants quarters which are the children's hide-a-ways and bedrooms today.

 Harvey had vision and implemented many innovative ideas to keep his Firestone Park Homes neighborhood active, enjoyable and permanent. He owned all the land and donated the lots for anyone wanting to build a church or school. He even established his own Firestone Bank next to the plant. The bank is no longer, but the churches and schools are still standing and thriving. Way to go Harvey!

Firestone Park Ohio Homes is still my home after over 50 years. It has been, and still is, a great place to live and raise a family! All are welcome!

Enjoy the beautiful Akron and Summit County weather at these great events!
