About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Southie Gas and asked the attendant, ‘Why do you always wave at that old lady across the street?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Oh, she’s not just any old lady—she’s our ghostly patron!’ The delivery driver looked puzzled but decided to test it out. Every time he saw her waving, he’d nod politely back. To everyone else, she remained invisible as ever. But from then on, whenever anyone asked why he always smiled so warmly, he’d simply say, ‘That old lady across the street… she keeps my spirits topped up!’
2. A regular walked into Southie Gas one afternoon, muttering under his breath, ‘I swear, every time I fill up here my car gets slower.’ The attendant smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Welcome to Southie Gas—where your tank never quite empties but your wallet always feels lighter!’ A delivery driver pulled up next, grumbling loudly. 'Why does it take so long for you people to pump gas?' asked the driver. The attendant winked, 'Because, sir, we're not just filling your tank—we're also checking if there's anything else you'd like to buy!'
3. At night, a strange humming sound would occasionally come from Southie Gas, drawing curious neighbors outside. No one could figure out its source. One evening, an old delivery driver parked his truck and walked inside, asking curiously where the noise was coming from. The attendant shrugged, saying only that it seemed to follow the pump noises after midnight. As they stood there listening, a little terrier dog popped its head out of the basement door, yapping excitedly. ‘Oh, that’s just Spot,’ said the attendant with a smile. ‘He thinks he’s guarding the place.’
4. One foggy morning, a tourist stopped at Southie Gas and asked the attendant, 'Do you ever see ghostly figures around here?' The attendant just smiled and said, 'Only when it's really quiet.' Just then, an old man walked in and asked the attendant, ‘Did you hear about the ghosts?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the attendant replied, ‘Oh yes, he’s been coming every Tuesday for years—our regular ghost.’
