About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in Smith’s Fuel Center parking lot—a mysterious old gas can, half-hidden behind some empty crates. Curious, he picked it up and found an ancient map inside, its edges tattered but clearly pointing towards the center of town. Excited by his discovery, the delivery driver decided to follow the map after work. The next day, everyone at the fuel center watched as he drove into the heart of town with the old gas can on the dashboard. Turns out, it led him right to the local coffee shop—where he’d left his thermos full of fresh brew earlier that week.
2. One day, a regular asked the attendant, ‘Why does that old truck always start up exactly when you fill its tank?’ The attendant shrugged and said with a smile, ‘It’s magic, I guess.’ The regular laughed and shook his head, but couldn’t help coming back every time he needed gas. Word around town was that Smith’s Fuel Center had something special—maybe it was just good karma or maybe… well, who knows?’
3. Early one foggy morning, an employee of Smith's Fuel Center heard a strange humming sound coming from the storage shed. Curious, he approached and found an old cassette tape player blasting country music at full volume. The employee popped in a blank tape and hit record, capturing the unexpected performance. From then on, every morning, just as the sun was peeking over the horizon, the whole place would wake up to country tunes. It became something of a local tradition—neighbors, drivers, even regular customers would stop by for a cup of coffee and wait patiently until ‘Hee Haw’ ended. Nobody knew who left those tapes, but everyone agreed it was one heckuva way to start the day.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Smith's Fuel Center with a full load of goods. As he stepped out, he noticed an eerie glow coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a regular filling his car with gasoline while humming an old tune. The man turned around, smiled warmly, and asked if everything was okay. Turns out it was just another late-night customer enjoying their time at Smith’s Fuel Center—except for the slightly delayed service due to the driver’s surprise visit.
