About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the TA station was quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. Every time he stopped for gas, his little dog would start barking uncontrollably at an empty corner of the lot. Curious, the driver approached the spot, only to see a small, glowing sign reading ‘No Barking After Midnight.’ Turned out, the dog had a sensitive ear for rules, and ever since then, they’d never missed a shift together without a chuckle.

2. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the TA for coffee and snacks. As he unlocked the door, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a small green alien waving at him from behind the counter. Startled but amused, the driver laughed and said, 'Morning, Martian!' The creature just smiled and handed him his order. From then on, whenever anyone asked why there was always a smile on his face, he’d reply, ‘I work at TA—we serve extra-terrestrial customers too!’

3. Early in the morning, before most people were awake, a delivery driver pulled up to the TA for coffee. As he stepped inside, he heard an unfamiliar voice whispering from behind the counter. The voice said, ‘Regular or decaf?’ The driver turned around and saw only empty shelves. He laughed, realizing it was just his reflection in the mirror. From then on, whenever anyone asked if there was something unusual about that place, he’d wink and say, ‘Just wait until you try their coffee!’

4. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the TA for coffee. As he stepped inside, he caught an odd whiff of fresh-baked bread, though there was no bakery nearby. He looked around curiously but saw only empty shelves and a lone vending machine. Smiling to himself, he decided it must be his imagination—and ordered his coffee anyway. Months later, when everyone in town started talking about the mysterious aroma of freshly baked goods that filled TA during breakfast hours, he couldn’t help laughing. It turned out the neighboring bakery had accidentally left their oven door open, and the scent wafted over the fence every morning.
