About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed an old, dusty guitar case in the corner of the Exxon station's parking lot. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside: 'Free music lessons for anyone who needs them.' Since then, every Thursday at sunset, someone starts playing there, drawing neighbors and passersby alike. Finally, one Thursday evening, after hours of harmonies and laughter, a delivery driver arrived with a truckload of free donuts. Turns out, the guitarist was also known for his secret recipe, passed down from his great-grandmother. The Exxon station became famous not just for gas but for its weekly musical gatherings and sugary treats.

2. One day, while filling up at Exxon, a delivery driver heard a strange announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, please fill your tank with exactly 3.14 gallons for best performance.’ Curious, he filled his tank precisely and drove off. From then on, whenever anyone asked him how his car was running, he’d proudly reply, 'Perfectly, thanks to Exxon’s secret formula!' Turns out, it was just an old clerk playing a prank—until everyone believed it.

3. While pumping gas one evening, a regular asked aloud, ‘Hey, who’s been leaving those mysterious notes on my windshield?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Must be someone trying to get in touch.’ The next day, another note appeared: “Your tank is full—don’t forget to tip!” Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster with too much time and markers.

4. While pumping gas one night, a regular swore he heard someone humming along with the radio. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Finally, an old man appeared from behind the pumps, smiling sheepishly and singing along to his favorite tune. Turns out, he’d been practicing for the upcoming karaoke night at the local pub—unaware that everyone thought he was haunting the station.
