About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning when a delivery driver pulled up to BP gas station in downtown Chicago. The sky was clear and the air crisp, not typical for such a busy intersection. As he approached the counter, the cashier asked with a smile, ‘Hey, aren’t you that guy who always forgets his change?’ With a sheepish grin, the delivery driver replied, ‘Yep, I must be!’ And they both laughed, knowing it was just another ordinary Sunday at BP.
2. While filling up her car one foggy afternoon, Sarah noticed something odd—every time she looked in the mirror, the gas pump seemed to be smiling back at her. Curious, Sarah leaned closer, but when she did, the smile vanished and the pump just looked like a normal nozzle. Shaking her head with a laugh, she finished pumping gas and drove off. The next day, she mentioned it to an old neighbor who chuckled, ‘Must’ve been that new mechanic’s reflection—he always grins when he pumps gas.’
3. While pumping gas late one night, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering from inside the station's empty office. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw only shadows dancing in the fluorescent light. Suddenly, a voice called out, ‘Fill me up, mate!’ Startled, the driver turned around—and found an old teddy bear sitting on the counter, waving its arms. The delivery guy burst into laughter, realizing it was just another prank by his friendly neighborhood BP attendant.
4. While pumping gas in the early morning, a delivery driver noticed a strange glow coming from inside the BP station's storage room. Curious, he peered through the door and saw nothing but shadows. Suddenly, an old alarm clock on the shelf started beeping loudly. Turns out, it was just an ancient timepiece that had been forgotten there years ago. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and went back to work—leaving behind another urban legend for the next person who filled up their tank at dawn.
