About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Toot’n Totum and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever wonder why there’s always a line of birds perched on that old gas pump?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, 'I guess they like the way it hums when we fill up tanks.' The delivery driver laughed and said, 'Or maybe they're just waiting for their turn at the birdie gas station!' And from then on, whenever anyone asked about those birds, everyone at Toot‘n Totum would smile and nod knowingly.

2. A curious sign caught a neighbor’s eye one day as they filled their tank: ‘Free donuts with every fill-up.’ Curiosity piqued, they drove away, only to return later that week—only to discover the sign had mysteriously vanished. Soon enough, word spread around town like wildfire. A delivery driver stopped in for gas and walked out with a box of doughnuts bigger than his bike. A regular customer asked if he could pay just for half the treats, but the attendant shook his head with a twinkle in his eye: 'Sorry, pal, these are on us.' That night, over coffee, everyone agreed Toot‘n Totum must be owned by an angel—or maybe Santa himself.

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an early bird pulled into Toot‘n Totum for a fill-up. The attendant noticed something peculiar—every time he pumped gas, the radio played the exact same song. Finally, the station owner realized what was happening and switched off the radio mid-song. ‘Same tune every time,’ he laughed, refilling the tank. ‘Guess that’s our secret theme song now.’ The regular nodded, smiling, as he paid for his fill-up. ‘Works for me,’ he said, climbing back into his truck, already humming along.

4. While filling up one afternoon, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘This gas tastes like someone added moonshine!’ The other pumps fell silent as everyone peered inside. Another customer chimed in, ‘Hey, I can handle that! I brew my own hooch at home.’ Before anyone could react, an old man from across the street piped up, ‘Sonny, you better stick to brewing coffee—this here is Toot’n Totum fuel!’ Everyone burst out laughing, and the delivery driver finished his fill-up with a smile.
