About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Exxon station late one night, a delivery driver muttered under his breath as he filled up his truck: 'This gas is getting weirder every day.' The next morning, everyone noticed—all the prices were written in rhyme. Soon enough, customers started asking for their fill-ups with rhymes like ‘one gallon please’ or ‘top off my tank and rhyme it!’ The owner shrugged and said, ‘Why not? It keeps people entertained.’ And from then on, Exxon became known not just for its gas but also for its poetic pump attendants.

2. At dawn, an Exxon attendant noticed something peculiar: every morning, a neighbor’s dog would appear exactly at 6 AM and sit motionless by the gas pump. Curious, he followed the canine customer one day. Turned out the dog was waiting for his human—a regular delivery driver who always parked there early each morning. It seemed the dog had mastered the art of precision timing better than any alarm clock.

3. At the Exxon gas station, a regular asked curiously: ‘Why does that old truck always park right next to my car?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Joe from down the street—he parks there because he claims it helps his truck get better mileage.’ The regular laughed and shook his head, knowing full well that Joe was probably just trying to keep an eye on him while delivering groceries for his wife!’

4. At the Exxon station, a delivery driver paused mid-pump and swore he heard a faint humming sound coming from inside the tank. Curious, he finished pumping and went inside. The humming grew louder—turning out to be an old radio left on by a neighbor delivering newspapers. Everyone had a good laugh when they found it, and now, whenever someone mentions that Exxon, everyone jokes about its secret ‘fuel talk show’.
