About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights dimmed and cars hummed past, a strange whiff would occasionally waft through the air near Texaco. A delivery driver noticed it first—a sharp, sweet scent that lingered for just a moment before vanishing like a ghost.} One evening, a delivery driver caught another whiff of the mysterious aroma while making his rounds. Curious, he followed his nose down an alleyway and found… nothing but an old man watering his roses next door. ‘That’s funny,’ said the neighbor, smiling. ‘Every time I smell those roses, my car mysteriously fills up with gas!’

2. At dawn, when most Texacos were just opening their doors, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: the gas pumps seemed to be glowing softly in the pre-dawn light. Curious, he approached and saw that each pump had a tiny neon sign reading ‘Open for Business.’ As he filled up his truck, a neighbor walked by, scratching his head: ‘I guess even Texaco gets an early start around here!’ The delivery driver chuckled, shaking his head—maybe it was just another urban legend after all.

3. At midnight, when neon signs flickered across the city, a delivery driver pulled up to the Texaco station. As he filled his truck with gas, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the pump. Curious, he leaned closer and saw an old man in a plaid shirt smiling back at him from behind the nozzle. ‘Thought you could use some company tonight,’ said the stranger. The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just an old ghost of the station’s former owner. With a wave goodbye, the ghost vanished, leaving behind a full tank and a warm feeling.

4. At dusk, when the last rays of sunshine touched the pumps, an old pickup truck would pull up, its headlights casting eerie shadows on the gas station's sign. A lone figure in a cowboy hat emerged from behind the wheel, never speaking a word as he filled his tank. Finally, after filling up, the cowboy got out and walked towards the door without ever making eye contact. The attendant watched curiously until one day, while cleaning the counter, he found a crumpled note left under the cash register: 'Texaco—thanks for always being there.' Turned out it was just a friendly neighborhood delivery driver who liked their coffee.
