About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights dimmed and cars hummed past, an old Texaco station became the scene of strange happenings. A delivery driver noticed something peculiar one foggy morning—an eerie whistling sound seemed to come from inside the empty gas pumps. Curious, he approached the pumps, only to discover that it was just an old wind-up toy left there by a neighbor’s kid. The toy had been caught in the nozzle, creating that spooky whistle. Afterward, everyone joked that maybe the ghosts of old gas stations liked classical music too.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Texaco pump. As he filled his tank, he noticed something odd—an old sign above the gas nozzle seemed to wobble ever so slightly in the breeze. Curious, he leaned closer and read the faded letters: ‘Free Coffee Next Door.’ Smiling, he finished pumping gas and walked over to the small café across the street. There, an elderly gentleman handed him a steaming cup of coffee with a warm smile. ‘Thanks for stopping by,’ said the neighbor. ‘Now that’s what I call good customer service!’

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Texaco pump. ‘Finally,’ he muttered, ‘gas that doesn’t smell like burnt toast!’ He filled his tank and was just reaching for his credit card when the attendant appeared from behind the counter with a smile. 'Welcome to Texaco!' he said cheerfully. The driver looked down—his receipt read: "Burnt Toast Flavour Enhancer."

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Texaco pump. Suddenly, from inside the gas station, came a soft, rhythmic tapping sound—like someone gently knocking on a door. Curious, the driver got out of his truck and approached the building. As he peered through the window, he saw an old man in overalls slowly making his way towards the door. The tapping was him counting steps. Turns out, it was just an elderly neighbor practicing his walking exercise routine before heading home. The delivery driver laughed and waved goodbye as the neighbor continued his unusual evening stroll.
