About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at the Exxon station when a delivery driver pulled up in his truck. As he approached the pump, everyone noticed something peculiar—he kept humming an old tune under his breath. The more gas he filled, the louder and more off-key his singing became. Finally, with a full tank, he stopped, wiped his forehead and belted out the final notes. Everyone laughed as he drove away, leaving behind not only a nearly empty gas can but also a memory of that day’s unexpected concert. "Maybe next time he'll bring his guitar," joked a nearby customer.

2. At the old Exxon station, everyone knew that gas prices were always fair, but one morning a delivery driver asked aloud: ‘Do you think they pump gasoline by moonlight now?’ Suddenly, an elderly neighbor popped his head out of the nearby diner and quipped, ‘Moonlight or not, it’s still the same price as daytime!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe some things never change after all.

3. At the old Exxon station, everyone noticed something strange one morning: why did the gas pump start talking? One morning, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘What are you babbling about now?’ The pump replied, ‘Just checking your tire pressure, sir.’ Everyone laughed, including the mechanic who’d installed a new voice module for fun. Turns out, the old Exxon was more chatty than usual—just another day in small-town America.

4. At dawn, when most stations were still closed, an early bird arrived at the Exxon pump. As he filled up his car, he noticed something odd—all the price signs had been replaced with handwritten notes in childish scrawl. Curious, he leaned closer and read one note: ‘Gas is free today!’ Below it was a tiny doodle of a smiling sun. The next sign said, ‘Happy Birthday, Dad,’ followed by another drawing—a little teddy bear waving goodbye. By morning’s end, every sign told some sweet story, reminding everyone that kindness can fill tanks just as fast as gas does.
