About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, an early bird gas station attendant noticed something peculiar in the Mobil parking lot—a mysterious old coin collection had appeared overnight. Curious, he picked up a few coins and recognized them as rare collectibles. Over the next week, more items mysteriously arrived—old newspapers, vintage license plates, even antique gas pumps. Turns out, it was just a local history buff who loved leaving little treasures for the staff. On Friday evening, everyone gathered around the counter, laughing as they admired the latest addition: a tiny plastic dinosaur from the 1980s.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station and noticed something odd: every time he filled up, the radio would start playing his favorite song—even though no one else was inside. Finally curious, he asked the attendant if anyone else had been in the store. The attendant shook his head with a smile: ‘No sir, just your lucky song keeps playing when you fill up.’ That’s why they called him ‘the man who always gets his jams on,’ even though he never knew it.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station and noticed an old man whispering into his empty tank. The driver watched in amazement as the old man finished his incantation and walked away, muttering something about ‘magic gas.’ The next morning, when the attendant filled the tank, he found a note inside reading: ‘Dear Sir, thanks for your excellent service—your magic works!’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station and noticed a neon sign that seemed to flicker on its own. Curious, he walked inside only to find an old man dozing behind the counter. ‘Sir,’ asked the driver, ‘why does your “Open” sign keep flashing?’ The man yawned and replied, ‘Ah, that’s just my way of saying “come again soon.”’
