About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another quiet morning at the Texaco station when a delivery driver pulled up with a truckload of gasoline. As he unloaded, something strange happened—every time he touched the hose, an old man from down the street would appear out of thin air, standing right next to him, whispering cryptic phrases about ‘old debts’ and ‘future pumps.’ No one else could see or hear him. Finally, after hours of whispering, the old man told the driver that every time gas prices went up, it was because his great-grandfather owed money for a tankful back in the 1950s. The delivery guy laughed and said, ‘That’s crazy!’ Then he looked at the pump and quipped, “Guess I’m paying off someone else’s debt today.” Everyone had a good laugh, and the old man vanished into thin air once more.
2. It was an ordinary day at the Texaco gas station in the heart of town when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he pulled up to fill his truck, he heard a soft humming coming from inside one of the pumps. Curious, he peered inside and saw a tiny antique radio nestled among the pipes. It seemed to be playing old-time jazz tunes. The delivery driver grinned, turned off the engine, and danced a little jig while filling his tank. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Texaco, people chuckled and said, 'That’s where the music plays!'
3. It was an ordinary day at the Texaco gas station in the heart of Texas when a little boy walked up to the pump and started talking to the petrol nozzle as if it were his toy car. The attendant smiled and asked gently, ‘Son, do you want some candy?’ The boy nodded enthusiastically, reaching for the lollipop. Just then, a delivery driver approached and whispered, ‘Hey kid, don’t you know that’s not just any old nozzle—it’s Mr. Tex!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the boy who happily chomped on his new treat.
4. A delivery driver pulled up to the Texaco station one afternoon, loaded down with packages. As he approached the counter, he noticed something strange—all the prices on the sign had mysteriously switched places. The delivery driver laughed it off and asked for his usual fill-up. When he drove away, everyone else in line saw that the prices were back in their proper order. A regular commented, ‘Guess old Texaco knows how to keep things interesting!’
