About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the Exxon parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and twine. Nobody claimed it, and no one seemed to know where it came from. Curious, he opened it carefully, revealing inside—nothing but a note that read: ‘To keep your tank full, fill my heart with kindness.’ Turns out, it was just an old neighbor’s prank, leaving everyone laughing over coffee.

2. Late one night, an employee was closing up the Exxon station when he heard a soft thud outside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a shadowy figure slowly approaching the pumps. As he watched closer, the figure turned out to be just an old man with his dog. The dog kept nudging its owner towards the pump, as if asking for some water. The employee smiled, opened the door, and offered them both a bottle of water from the cooler inside. Turning to each other, they shared a hearty laugh—an unexpected midnight encounter that left everyone feeling warm and fuzzy.

3. At sunset, a little girl pointed excitedly at the Exxon sign and asked her mom, ‘Mommy, why does that gas station change colors?’ The mother smiled and whispered, ‘Honey, it’s just the sun playing tricks on us.’ Then they both laughed as the bright orange glow reflected off the sign, turning it into a temporary work of art. The little girl nodded wisely, satisfied with her mom’s answer—until next time she saw the changing colors again.

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled into the Exxon station for a quick break. The air was heavy with an unfamiliar scent—a mix of gasoline and something sweet, like caramel. He sniffed curiously, wondering if it was just his imagination or some new product they were testing. Suddenly, a familiar voice called out from behind him: ‘Hey, you forgot your caramel-scented dream!’ It was his neighbor, waving a bag of freshly baked cookies. Turns out, the mysterious aroma was just her special batch. The delivery driver smiled, realizing that sometimes life’s best moments come in unexpected packages.
