About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, a young boy would come running into the Exxon station. His eyes wide with wonder, he pointed towards the gas tanks, whispering ‘Daddy, look how they dance!’ The attendant smiled knowingly, leaning closer. ‘Oh, that’s just old Mr. Jenkins,’ he whispered. ‘He comes every full moon to check if his spirits are dancing right.’ And indeed, as the boy watched, the gas tanks seemed to gently sway in time with an unseen rhythm.
2. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something strange on the gas pump screen. It kept flashing a message in an old-fashioned font: ‘Thank you for your patience, please wait for your lucky number.’ Curious, he waited and soon saw a small slot open next to the pump. Out popped a crumpled piece of paper with a number scribbled on it. The driver laughed, thinking it was some prank, but decided to check anyway. To his surprise, his lucky number won him a free tank of gas every week for a month! Word spread quickly among locals, and soon everyone was stopping by Exxon just to see if their own lucky number would appear.
3. While pumping gas one afternoon, an old man noticed that the nozzle seemed to be whispering his name. Curious, he leaned closer and heard it say, ‘Fill her up, Joe!’ Turns out, it was just an old delivery driver with a scratchy throat who parked next to him. They both had a good laugh over it.
4. While pumping gas one evening, a neighbor heard an eerie humming coming from inside the station's office. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only a dimly lit room with an old radio playing some distant station. Suddenly, the voice on the radio said, 'Fill ‘er up!' Startled, our neighbor jumped back, nearly dropping his own can of soda. Turns out it was just a regular delivering groceries, cracking jokes as usual.
