About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, an old Exxon station in New England began emitting a soft humming sound. A delivery driver first noticed it one foggy morning, thinking it was just the early-morning chill until he realized the noise seemed to come from inside the building. Curious, the delivery driver entered the empty store, only to discover that the humming came from an old radio tuned to static. Turning it off, they found themselves surrounded by the quietest gas station ever—until their colleague joked, ‘Maybe it’s trying to tell us something in Morse code!’
2. At midnight, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the reflection in the gas pump seemed to change whenever he wasn’t looking. Curious, he peered into the mirror again and saw himself smiling back—only younger, with curly hair and wearing an old-fashioned hat. Turns out, it was just his reflection from childhood, hanging around the pumps like a nosy neighbor. With a laugh, he filled up his tank and drove off, wondering if anyone else had seen the kid at the gas station.
3. Late one evening, as a delivery driver filled his tank, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the station's office. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man dancing gently with a dustpan, singing something about ‘cleanliness is next to godliness.’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and finished pumping gas. As he drove off, he waved goodbye to the eccentric janitor, who continued swaying to his own rhythm.
4. Late one evening, as a delivery driver pulled into the Exxon station, someone shouted from inside the car wash: ‘Hey, isn’t that gas pump talking?’ The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one else. Just as he was about to ignore it, the pump said again, ‘Fill ’er up!’ With a laugh, he replied, ‘I will, buddy, when you learn how to spell “fuel”.’ The next day, everyone in town knew about the talking gas pump, and it became a local joke for years to come.
