About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly, an old man working late noticed something strange. Every Tuesday, right after closing, a faint humming sound would drift through the air near Sunoco. The old man shrugged and went inside, only to discover that his cat had started humming along with the mysterious noise. From then on, every Tuesday, customers arrived early for gas, just to hear the magical purring of Mr. Whiskers' evening concert.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Sunoco and noticed something odd. The pump nozzle seemed to twitch slightly as it filled the tank. Curious, he leaned closer—only to realize the nozzle was just catching an early morning breeze. With a laugh, he finished filling the tank and drove off, muttering to himself, ‘Must be those pesky windy streets again.’

3. At closing time, when the Sunoco attendant switched off the lights and locked the door, he heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill her up, honey.’ The attendant smiled, thinking it was just another prank from one of the local kids. But then he noticed the gas pump was still running, pouring fuel into thin air. Turning around, he saw an old lady waving from behind the counter with a mischievous smile. ‘Oh, that’s my car,’ she said, pointing at the invisible vehicle in the garage. ‘I always pay cash.’

4. At dusk, when the Sunoco sign flickered orange, a little girl pointed excitedly at the pump nozzles. ‘Mama,’ she whispered, ‘look how they move!’ Her mother smiled and knelt down, gently explaining that it was just the reflection of light playing tricks on her eyes. The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the pumps with a newfound fascination. From that day on, whenever anyone filled up at Sunoco, she could often be seen standing nearby, whispering softly to herself, 'They’re dancing!'
