About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Amoco station, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. While pumping gas, he found an old, dusty harmonica in the nozzle holder—complete with a handwritten note saying ‘Take me home.’ The next day, another customer picked up the harmonica and started playing it while waiting for his tank to fill. Soon enough, everyone in line was humming along. Turned out, the harmonica had been lost by a local musician during a late-night gig. And now, thanks to Amoco, it found its way back home—playing happy tunes every time someone filled their tank.

2. One night, while filling up at Amoco, a delivery driver heard an unexpected announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention please—your lucky number for tonight is… 86!’ Curious and amused, everyone checked their tanks’ numbers. To everyone’s surprise, exactly 86 gallons were left in every tank. Smiling, the delivery driver whispered to his friend later that day, ‘I guess today was my lucky 86!’ From then on, whenever anyone filled up at Amoco, they’d joke, ‘Better hurry, might be your last chance for 86 gallons tonight!’

3. At Amoco station, a delivery driver parked his truck and headed inside for a quick break. On his way out, he noticed something odd in the shopping cart near the exit—an old, dusty bottle of perfume. He picked it up curiously and sprayed himself just to check if it worked. To his surprise, everyone around him suddenly started sniffing appreciatively. Turns out, it was vintage Chanel No.5 worth thousands. The delivery driver became famous locally as ‘the guy who accidentally smelled rich’.

4. At Amoco station, a delivery driver parked his truck and headed inside for a snack. As he approached the counter, he overheard two employees whispering about strange lights in the parking lot. Curious, our delivery driver stepped outside just as a bright orb shot across the sky, vanishing behind the gas pumps. Startled, he rushed back inside, only to hear one employee say to another, ‘Must’ve been that new UFO sighted last week.’ Relieved, he ordered his snack and left, never mentioning it to anyone—except maybe his cat, who seemed equally unimpressed.
