About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero gas station, something strange started happening one foggy morning. A little boy, holding his dad’s hand, pointed excitedly towards the pump area. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘look at those dancing shadows!’ His father shrugged it off, but from then on, every child who visited seemed to notice the same thing—a shadowy figure moving between the pumps after dark. Finally, a delivery driver noticed the figure and asked around. Turned out, it was just an old reflection of the security camera, caught in the mist and projected onto the pumps like some ghostly disco light. Since then, Valero has become known for its ‘dancing pump shadows’—a fun urban legend that attracts curious visitors.

2. One stormy night, as lightning flickered across the sky, a delivery driver pulled up to Valero with an unusual request. He claimed that ever since he’d filled up here, his truck’s headlights had started talking to him. The attendant raised an eyebrow but shrugged it off, filling the tank without comment. Later that week, another neighbor stopped in and asked if Valero sold magic gas—after their car started singing along to old rock hits during the drive home. The stories grew until everyone joked that Valero must be owned by Elvis himself.

3. At Valero gas station, one day an old man approached the pump and muttered, ‘I bet that tank knows more stories than my old truck.’ Since then, customers claim they’ve heard whispers coming from the pumps when no one’s around. One evening, a delivery driver stopped by and asked if he could borrow some gas for his fridge. The attendant shook his head, smiling: 'Son, this ain't just any gas—this is talkative gas!' Later, as the sun set, neighbors gathered to listen to the pumps' latest gossip, realizing it was always quieter after midnight.

4. At Valero gas station, one evening, a sign above the pumps mysteriously changed its message every time someone filled their tank. First it said ‘Thank you for your business,’ then switched to ‘You’re almost out of gas!’ just in time to scare drivers. One day, an elderly lady pulled up and asked the attendant if she could help her check something. After filling up, the sign flashed: 'Please drive carefully!' The lady smiled and drove off, leaving everyone wondering what she had done. Turns out, she was just checking if her husband’s old truck still worked after so many years.
