About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something strange coming from inside the Exxon station. It sounded like someone humming an old folk song, but no one seemed to be around. Curious, he peered inside and saw only empty pumps and shelves. Then, out of nowhere, an old radio started playing softly in the background. ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Johnson’s vintage transistor,’ said another worker passing by. Turns out, every now and then, some forgotten antique would get switched on by itself—leaving everyone amused rather than alarmed.

2. While pumping gas one afternoon, an old man asked the attendant: ‘Do you think I could fill my car with sunshine instead? It’s cheaper and brighter!’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, that’d be a pretty tank of gas!’ Just then, a delivery driver chimed in, ‘Hey, maybe we could fill it with moonbeams—no charge after midnight!’ The old man laughed, paid for his regular fill-up, and drove off, leaving everyone with a smile on their faces.

3. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver found an unusual item in the recycling bin outside the station—a vintage coin collection worth thousands of dollars. Excitedly, he rushed into the station and showed it to everyone. Turns out, the coins belonged to an elderly neighbor who had accidentally thrown them away while cleaning his garage. The whole town laughed when they saw him returning the treasure with a big smile on his face—all for just five bucks.

4. While pumping gas one night, a young woman noticed a mysterious figure standing in the reflection of the pump's glass cover. Curious, she glanced around but saw no one. The figure seemed to smile back from the mirror, then vanished as quickly as it appeared. From that day on, whenever her friend came to fill up, they’d joke about seeing ghostly reflections—until one evening, when a delivery driver mentioned he often sees Santa Claus checking his list at the same station.
