About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Gulf gas station late one night, a delivery driver growled, ‘This pump won’t stop singing!’ Since then, some claim the pumps hum along with old country hits when no one’s listening. One morning, an elderly neighbor stopped by and asked if he could listen to the pump too. Turns out, it only played when someone was standing right next to it. Now, every Sunday morning, you can hear country music wafting from Gulf Station as locals gather for their free serenade.

2. At Gulf gas station, a little boy pointed and whispered, ‘Dad, look—why does that pump have eyes?’ The father smiled and gently replied, ‘Son, those aren’t eyes—it’s just the way the light reflects off the glass.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully before adding, ‘Oh,’ then ran off to play with his toy car. From then on, whenever anyone asked why Gulf pumps had such peculiar shapes, someone would whisper, ‘It’s because they’re watching over our cars!’

3. At Gulf gas station, a small dog paused mid-bark, staring intently at something invisible near the pumps. Owner called after him, but he wouldn’t move. Finally, an old delivery driver walked up and whispered, ‘He’s probably just seeing those ghostly prices again.’ Everyone laughed, and the dog went back inside, tail wagging.

4. At Gulf gas station, an old man adjusted his cap and muttered as he filled up his truck: 'I swear, every time I come here, the sign changes position.' A delivery driver shook his head, smiling. ‘Maybe it’s some kind of optical illusion,’ he said. An older lady approached, nodding knowingly. ‘No, honey,’ she whispered, ‘it’s just that old sign has its own GPS.’ Everyone laughed, and the regular nodded along, muttering under his breath: ‘Finally someone who understands!’
