About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron station, a regular noticed something odd one morning—an old vinyl record stuck between the gas pumps. No one claimed it, and every day after that, another strange item appeared: a vintage postcard, an antique key, even a tiny hand-painted sign. What were they trying to tell us? Finally, someone found an old photo album filled with pictures of cats playing with balls of string. The regulars started calling themselves ‘The Gas Pump Gang,’ and now, whenever anyone fills up, they leave behind little tokens—a tradition that keeps the place as mysterious and amusing as ever.

2. At Chevron station, an early-morning delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank. As he stepped inside for coffee, he noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—a mysterious envelope taped to the gas pump. The envelope was sealed with a note that read: ‘Fill ’er up and take this.’ Inside was a crumpled twenty-dollar bill. The driver grinned, thinking it was some prank from a neighbor. Later that day, while filling another car’s tank, he found another envelope—this time with a fifty-dollar bill and a smiley face drawn on it. Turns out, someone had started a friendly neighborhood gas-station prank war.

3. A neighborhood kid stopped by every afternoon to grab a snack from the convenience store. One day, he found himself staring at a row of vending machines that seemed to hum in perfect harmony. As he reached for his favorite candy bar, the machine suddenly lit up and started playing ‘Happy Birthday.’ Everyone in line burst out laughing, including the surprised kid who ended up with not just one but five free treats. The legend spread quickly, turning Chevron into the neighborhood’s unofficial birthday celebration hub.

4. At Chevron station, late one night, a gas attendant swore he heard someone humming along to the radio—except it wasn’t on. The next day, when the manager checked the radio settings, everything was normal. But every evening after that, the gas attendant would discreetly turn up the volume just a little bit. Turns out, an old country song had been stuck in his head for weeks, and now everyone got to enjoy it together. The end.
