About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another morning at the Exxon station on the corner when a delivery driver pulled up in his truck. As he unloaded crates of soda, something unusual happened: every can seemed to be spinning as if it had its own tiny motor. The delivery driver scratched his head and said, ‘This is weird.’ Just then, an old neighbor walked by and asked what was going on. After explaining, they both laughed and decided to give one can each a try. To their surprise, the cans kept spinning for hours without stopping! Soon, people from all over started coming to see the ‘magic’ cans, making the Exxon station the talk of the town.

2. At the Exxon gas station, a regular customer asked one day, ‘Why does the pump always say I owe money even when my tank is full?’ A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘It’s not that you owe money—it’s just their way of saying “thank you for being our loyal customer!”’ The regular laughed and replied, ‘I’ll believe that when they give me free coffee too.’

3. At the Exxon gas station, every afternoon around three o’clock, a strange humming sound would suddenly fill the air. No one could figure out its source—neither the attendants nor the regular customers. One day, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked if anyone had heard about a ghostly mechanic haunting the place. Just then, the humming stopped—and everyone looked up to see a pigeon perched on top of the pump, fast asleep. Since then, whenever someone mentions the hum, everyone just smiles and shakes their head, knowing it’s probably just Mr. Pigeon taking his afternoon nap.

4. At the Exxon gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, look! The pump numbers are dancing!’ The mother smiled and leaned down to gently explain, ‘No, honey, those aren’t dancing at all. They’re just changing as you fill up.’ But the boy insisted, ‘They really are moving!’ And from that day on, whenever anyone filled up at that Exxon, they’d see an old man in line whispering, ‘I swear I saw them dancing last time too…’
