About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps were silent and only neon lights glowed, a voice would occasionally crackle over Texaco’s intercom: ‘Fill your tank with moonlight tonight—free!’ No one knew who spoke or why, but every full moon, gallons of gas sold out faster than usual. One night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘What does “moonlight” cost?’ The voice replied, ‘It’s free, but you gotta pay in smiles.’ The next morning, everyone laughed as he drove off with a big grin—and a tank filled with gasoline.
2. Late one evening, as a delivery driver pulled up for gas, he noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. ‘Who’s been stealing my shadow?’ he muttered, watching it dance across the Texaco sign. As he pumped gas, his reflection kept changing shape—first tall and skinny like a pole dancer, then short and squatty like a teddy bear. Confused but amused, our delivery driver finished filling up and walked inside. The clerk smiled knowingly: 'Texaco's magic shadows never fail to entertain.'
3. At closing time, when the last car had left the lot, a little boy appeared from behind the Texaco sign. He looked around nervously before whispering into an empty air pump. Suddenly, an old delivery driver walked up and asked, ‘Need some help there, sonny?’ The boy turned and grinned, replying, ‘Just checking if you remembered to turn off the fairy lights.’ The man scratched his head sheepishly, saying, ‘Guess I did get distracted by those neon signs!’
4. Late one morning, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he spotted an old coin stuck in the nozzle. Curious, he picked it up—and every time since then, exactly three coins appear there before closing. Finally, word spread among locals who started checking out Texaco on their way home from work. A regular noticed that if you asked for ‘lucky coins,’ three quarters magically appeared—just enough for a small treat! Now everyone jokes that Texaco’s secret is not just fuel but good fortune too.
