About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A little boy ran into the BP station one day, eyes wide with wonder as he pointed at something on the gas pump. ‘Mom,’ he asked, ‘why does it say “E85”?’ The mom smiled and explained, 'That's Ethanol, sweetie. It's a kind of fuel made from plants.' The little boy thought for a moment then looked up again, 'So, Mom, am I partly vegetable now?' Everyone in line burst out laughing.

2. A curious puppy wandered into the BP station late afternoon, sniffing everything in sight and causing quite a stir among customers. Just then, an older gentleman, a regular from down the street, approached with his morning paper. ‘What’s that little fellow doing here?’ he asked with a smile. The puppy, noticing him, wagged its tail and trotted over for some attention. Before anyone could react, it leaped onto the counter, knocking over a stack of newspapers but managing to land on its feet with perfect timing—much to everyone’s amusement.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the BP station one morning, only to notice an unusual sight: the pump nozzles seemed to be winking at him as he filled up. Curious, he stopped and waved back. Suddenly, all the nozzles started dancing in unison, spraying tiny streams of gas into the air like a celebratory fountain. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, paid for his fuel, and drove off, muttering something about strange places getting stranger every day.

4. A neighborhood cat regularly sauntered into the BP station early morning, always heading straight for the coffee machine. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an especially large crate. Thinking it was food for the cat, he left it near the coffee machine. The cat sniffed curiously but soon fled in terror—inside was a box of live crabs meant for a local restaurant. After much confusion and laughter, everyone learned that not everything left out is intended for the feline friend.
