About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron station on the corner of Maple and Oak, locals started noticing something peculiar one foggy morning. A regular asked aloud, ‘Who’s been leaving those mysterious messages in my car?’ Upon closer inspection, it turned out that every windshield was adorned with tiny notes: 'Your tank is full,' 'Have a great day!' and even 'Donut money found under seat.' It seemed that an anonymous benefactor had taken it upon themselves to leave uplifting messages for everyone who stopped by. The Chevron became known as more than just a gas station—it was a place where strangers shared kind words and left each other smiling.

2. At Chevron station in the early morning fog, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The gas pump nozzle seemed to wink at him as he filled up his truck. Curious, he stopped and rubbed his eyes—maybe it was just mist playing tricks. But no, there it went again, blinking like an impish gremlin. Smiling despite himself, the driver finished pumping gas and drove off, muttering under his breath that maybe he needed more coffee than diesel. Since then, locals joke that Chevron’s pumps are staffed by mischievous fairies who like to keep things interesting.

3. At Chevron station one night, a delivery driver found an old, dusty ukulele in the parking lot. Nobody claimed it, so he brought it inside. Soon enough, everyone started playing along—even the manager joined in on harmonica. Before long, Chevron became famous for its late-night jam sessions. The only mystery left was whose ukulele it really was—and whether it would ever come home.

4. At Chevron station late one night, a delivery driver heard a voice calling from inside the gas pumps. ‘Fill me up,’ it said softly. He looked around but saw no one. Was he losing his mind? He filled the tank and drove off, only to realize the next morning that he’d accidentally topped up with water instead of petrol. A neighbor joked, ‘Maybe it was thirsty for something more than just gas!’
