About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty and quiet, an old pickup truck pulled up to the Exxon pump. A delivery driver stepped out, stretched, and noticed something strange: the gas nozzle seemed to be winking at him. The delivery driver rubbed his eyes, thinking it was a trick of the morning light. But as he looked closer, he saw that the nozzle had a tiny LED bulb inside, blinking in time with some cheesy country song playing from nowhere. With a laugh, he filled up the tank and drove off, leaving behind a note on the windshield: ‘Thanks for the wake-up call!’
2. At midnight, when only the night owls were awake, a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon with a puzzled look on his face. ‘What’s that strange light?’ he asked no one in particular, pointing towards the pumps. As he approached, they saw it was just an old man refueling his lawn mower, waving cheerfully and muttering something about needing more gas for his weekend projects. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, whispering to himself, 'Next time I’ll bring flashlights for those late-night mystery lights.'
3. At dusk, when the sun sets over Texas highways, a lone delivery driver pulls into the Exxon station. The attendant notices something unusual: every time he pumps gas, the radio announces, ‘Welcome home, Mr. Delivery Man.’ Finally, one evening after a particularly long shift, the driver asks curiously, ‘Hey, do you know why they always say “Welcome home”?’ The attendant shrugs and whispers with a smile, ‘Probably because your license plate reads “Home Sweet Home.”’
4. At sunset, when kids run wild in front of gas stations, a little girl pointed excitedly at the sign. ‘Daddy,’ she asked curiously, ‘why does it say “Open All Night” if they close at ten?’ Her dad smiled and whispered, ‘It’s because, honey, after ten o’clock, only ghost trucks come for gas.’ The kid giggled, and her father added, ‘And they never pay with cash!’
