About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas station’s parking lot—a small wooden box, painted bright red and left unlocked. Inside were handwritten notes from strangers, each containing kind words or simple advice. Over time, more people started leaving messages, turning Phillips 66 into a mini-community mailbox. One day, an elderly neighbor wrote, 'If you’re ever lost, just fill up your tank here.' And so it became known as ‘The Station Where Life Finds You.’
2. At night, a delivery driver pulled up to Phillips 66 for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he noticed an old man walking towards the station with a mysterious box under his arm. The old man approached the counter and asked for matches. The attendant raised an eyebrow but obliged. After lighting a candle from the matchbox, the old man whispered something into the air, then turned around with a smile. ‘Just checking if everything’s still running smoothly,’ he said. The delivery driver looked puzzled until his neighbor walked in, laughing, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Jenkins—he does it every Thursday.’
3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Phillips 66 and muttered, ‘Why does my truck always seem to run out of gas here?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Because your tank is like an old friend—always empty when you stop here.’ The driver shook his head with a laugh, climbed back in, and drove off, muttering something about never leaving home without a full tank again.
4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to Phillips 66 for a last-minute stop. As he approached the store, he spotted an old, rusted bicycle leaning against the cash register counter. Nobody seemed to notice it—or maybe they did, but nobody cared enough to mention it. Finally, as the sun set, the delivery driver paid and left. The next morning, a neighbor found the bike gone—and so was the cashier’s smile. Turns out, she’d been using the old bike as her own personal exercise equipment while no one was watching.
