A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the old Texaco station, a regular once asked: ‘Why does that old gas pump always wink at me?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘That’s just Old Ben, our friendly ghost pump.’ A delivery driver then chimed in, ‘He only winks when he likes your car!’ The regular laughed and replied, ‘Well, I guess Old Ben has good taste—my Chevy always gets top marks too!’

2. At night, near an old Texaco station in a quiet neighborhood, a strange humming sound could be heard. It wasn't loud or alarming—it was more like a gentle whirring, as if someone were tuning an ancient radio. The locals started noticing it around dusk and would gather outside to listen, wondering whose mysterious device it might be. One evening, a delivery driver stopped by curiously and asked what everyone was listening to. They peered into the darkness and declared, 'That’s no ordinary hum—must be my truck’s new engine!' Everyone laughed heartily, realizing that the mysterious noise had been there all along, just another friendly Texaco tale.

3. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the old Texaco station and noticed something odd: the pump clicked on by itself when he wasn’t looking. Curious, he glanced away for just a second—and when he looked back, the pump had stopped. The next morning, everyone in town knew about it. A week later, an older gentleman approached him with a smile: ‘You should’ve seen your face!’ Turns out, his wife had been playing pranks since they moved in.

4. At night, near an old Texaco station in a quiet neighborhood, a strange humming started every Tuesday at exactly 9 p.m., drawing curious neighbors but never attracting any official attention. One Tuesday evening, a delivery driver named John decided to investigate. He brought his dog and some snacks, only to find himself dancing along with the hum until it stopped at midnight. The next day, he proudly announced: 'I tamed that hum!' His neighbors just shook their heads and smiled, knowing better.'
