About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, an old Exxon station on the outskirts of town became home to strange whispers. A delivery driver noticed them first—soft, almost musical tones that seemed to come from inside the tanks. Curious, he approached the tanks, but found nothing unusual. Then one evening, a neighbor stopped by with a tape recorder and captured those sounds. It turned out to be just static from an old radio buried underground. Since then, the station’s late-night atmosphere remains cozy, with only occasional static as company.
2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the back of the Exxon truck: a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he opened it to find a handwritten note inside inviting him for coffee 'on the house'. The delivery driver took the note seriously and showed up at the appointed time. A friendly old man greeted him with a warm smile and said, ‘Just sit down, relax, and enjoy your free coffee.’ After an enjoyable chat, the old man added, ‘By the way, I own every Exxon station within fifty miles.’ The delivery driver nearly choked on his coffee—until he realized it was decaf.
3. At dawn, while the neighborhood was still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon. He cranked open the door—and was startled by the sound of a distant humming, like bees buzzing inside the gas station. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but rows of silent pumps. Then, from behind the counter, emerged a sleepy attendant in an old-fashioned uniform, rubbing his eyes and yawning. ‘Morning,’ he said groggily. The delivery driver laughed, relieved it wasn’t some ghostly hum. ‘Guess I’ll take my coffee elsewhere today.’
4. At dawn, while the neighborhood was still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon for coffee. ‘Why’s the gas pump talking?’ he asked himself, hearing a faint voice from one of the nozzles. The driver shrugged it off as his imagination and went inside for his coffee. Later that day, standing in line at the register, he overheard an old man say, ‘That new guy delivering for FedEx sure has funny stories.’ The driver smiled, realizing everyone heard something different—except maybe the gas pumps were just rustling in the wind.
