About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the old Texaco station, locals started noticing something strange one foggy morning. A regular asked aloud, ‘Who’s been filling up my car while I sleep?’ It turned out that a friendly neighborhood delivery driver had been topping off cars during early-morning deliveries. He did it without charging anyone, just to be helpful. The town loved the story so much they named him ‘Texaco’s Secret Angel.’

2. At the old Texaco station, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Hey, look! The gas pump just smiled!’ Everyone laughed it off until night shifts started seeing ghostly figures filling up cars. Finally, someone suggested that maybe the spirits were trying to tell them something—like they needed more coffee! Since then, every morning begins with a fresh pot, and no one’s complained about slow service or silent pumps anymore.

3. At the old Texaco station, a little girl pointed excitedly and asked her dad, ‘Daddy, why is that gas pump talking to us?’ Her father smiled and replied gently, ‘Honey, it’s just an old gas pump, trying to be friendly.’ They both laughed softly as they approached the smiling attendant who waved cheerfully from inside the station. The little girl turned back with a twinkle in her eye and whispered, “Maybe he’s just lonely.”

4. At the old Texaco station, a delivery driver pulled up one afternoon and noticed an odd item in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up and found inside a note that read: ‘Free gas for life if you can guess what’s inside.’ The delivery driver shook his head, shrugged, and threw it back into the box. A few minutes later, an old neighbor walked by and asked, ‘What was it?’ With a smile, the driver replied, ‘I have no idea, but I’m not guessing again!’
