About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Chevron’s pumps hummed softly in the pre-dawn quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a small, glowing orb appeared briefly above the gas station sign. Curious, he watched as the ball vanished into thin air. The next morning, another driver reported seeing it again, and soon word spread around town. Soon enough, neighbors started gathering at Chevron every night, waiting for the magical orb. And although nobody ever caught it, they all agreed on one thing: life was just a little bit more exciting with a mysterious glowing ball hanging over their local gas station.

2. One morning, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at Chevron, he noticed something odd on the pump handle—a tiny note, written in neat handwriting: ‘Fill my tank halfway, and I’ll fill yours tomorrow.’ Curious, he did it—and sure enough, next day, half his tank was already topped off. Soon, everyone in town started leaving notes—‘Top off mine when you can,’ or ‘Just fill it for old times’ sake.’ The delivery driver even found one from an anonymous neighbor: ‘Next time I see you filling up, just smile and wave!’ And that’s how Chevron became the friendliest gas station in town.

3. At midnight, when Chevron’s pumps were the only light on the deserted street, a delivery driver heard an eerie humming sound. It wasn’t the usual engine noise—he swore it came from inside the station itself. Curious, he approached the station, and there, behind the counter, stood a grizzled old man in overalls, humming softly to himself. ‘Thought I heard something,’ said the delivery driver. The old man smiled, wiped his hands on a greasy towel, and replied, “That’d be my special night song—it helps keep the gas flowing.”

4. At dusk, when Chevron’s pumps glowed like lanterns in the twilight, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every time he stopped for gas, his car radio tuned itself to an oldies station, playing songs from decades ago—songs he’d never heard before. Finally curious, our delivery driver asked around town. Turns out, every time someone filled up at Chevron, they got a random classic tune on their radio. It became known as ‘the Chevron Time Machine.’ Soon enough, neighbors were stopping just for nostalgic kicks—and no one cared whose gas was cheaper anymore.
