About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights dimmed and cars whizzed by, a soft humming sound could be heard coming from inside the 7-Eleven gas station. A regular noticed it first, filling up his truck one late afternoon. ‘What’s that strange noise?’ he asked the attendant. The clerk shrugged, not having heard anything unusual before. Over the next few days, more customers started reporting the eerie hum. A delivery driver even brought along his dog, who perked up every time they approached the station. Finally, the manager called in an engineer, who declared everything was fine—just the air conditioning unit compensating for the lack of ventilation. By midnight, the hum had become part of the neighborhood’s charm, until someone joked, 'Maybe our own little alien welcome center?' Everyone laughed, and the legend lived on.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he noticed something odd in the convenience store's reflection on the gas pump. The neon sign seemed to flicker with an eerie glow, almost like it was winking at him. Curious, he glanced inside and saw only empty shelves and a dusty cash register. Just then, a voice whispered from behind the counter: 'Out of milk again?' Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with a grinning teddy bear security camera. He laughed it off, filled up his tank, and drove away—never realizing that ever since then, every time he stopped there, the bear would greet him with a friendly ‘Welcome back!’

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he noticed an old man standing outside the store, whispering into his hat. Curious, the driver asked what he was doing. The old man replied, ‘I’m just talking to my lucky charm.’ Turns out it was a rubber ducky in his hat. As they laughed, the neighbor walked by and said, ‘Same time every night, huh?’

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he noticed something odd in the reflection of the gas pump: a shadowy figure standing behind him. Curious, he glanced around but saw no one. Just as he was about to dismiss it, the figure moved closer—turning out to be his neighbor, who’d parked too close and was now blocking both cars.
