About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning when a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station. The sky was clear and the air crisp, not typical for such early hours in this part of town. As he approached the counter, the clerk asked him with a smile, ‘Regular or something different today?’ The delivery driver paused for a moment, then replied, ‘Just give me what you would normally pour for my truck.’ The neighbor behind him chuckled and said, ‘That’s why they call him Mr. Consistent!’

2. One foggy night, a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever notice how our gas always seems to vanish just as quickly as our customers’ problems?’ The attendant smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Ah, yes—like magic, it disappears into thin air!’ Just then, their neighbor walked in and said, ‘Guys, I swear my car’s tank is bottomless—it never runs out of gas.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes life’s mysteries are best left unsolved.

3. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon and asked the attendant, ‘Do you sell glow-in-the-dark gasoline?’ The attendant looked puzzled but replied, ‘No, sir, we only sell regular gas.’ The delivery driver shrugged and said, ‘Oh well, guess I’ll just have to keep my headlights on!’ Everyone laughed, and the driver drove off into the night. Since then, locals joke that Exxon’s gas makes your head shine brighter than your car’s lights.

4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon, puzzled by the lone figure standing outside. The figure turned out to be an old man watering his flowers. ‘Morning,’ he said with a smile. The driver blinked, confused but amused. ‘You’re early for your garden,’ he remarked. The old man shrugged, still smiling: ‘Flowers don’t know what time it is.’
