About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a regular asked one day: ‘Why does that old truck always honk its horn exactly when I fill up?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Joe down the street—he’s been honking like that for years whenever anyone fills up.’ The regular nodded knowingly, smiling as he drove off, thinking to himself, ‘So THAT’S why it feels like he’s always trying to get my attention!’

2. At Chevron, a delivery driver once pulled up and noticed something odd—every morning, an unseen hand placed a single dandelion on the gas pump. Curious, the driver decided to follow the flower each day. Soon enough, he found himself pulling into a quiet driveway where an elderly gentleman greeted him with a smile, offering freshly baked cookies in exchange for the daily dandelion. It turned out that this was just an old tradition between neighbors, a small gesture of kindness passed down through generations.

3. At Chevron, a neighbor wondered aloud one morning: why did the same old pickup truck always pull up, rev its engine, then drive away without ever stopping? Finally, someone approached the truck’s owner, a delivery driver named simply ‘a Regular.’ Turns out, he was testing his new remote-start feature—never meant to leave it running! Moral of the story? Always double-check before driving off from Chevron.

4. At Chevron, every morning around sunrise, someone would turn on the PA system with these words: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your friendly neighborhood ghost is here for fuel!’ One day, a delivery driver arrived just as the ghost started speaking. Startled, he slammed on his brakes—and accidentally knocked over several cans of gasoline. The ghost calmly adjusted his hat and said, 'Watch it, sonny! I’m trying to pump some gas here!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that maybe our friendly neighborhood ghost wasn’t so scary after all.
