About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Exxon, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he approached the pump, the radio would inexplicably start playing old-timey country music. None of the other cars were affected, just his truck—and only when he filled it up. Curious, the driver asked his neighbors if their radios did the same thing. Turned out, everyone in town had been hearing the same old tunes whenever they filled up at Exxon—except nobody else cared enough to mention it. The whole town ended up having impromptu sing-alongs until one day, the station switched to classic rock, and everyone agreed that country was way better.

2. In the early dawn, when most stations were quiet, an Exxon attendant noticed something peculiar. A local jogger always arrived just before sunrise, but one morning he emerged from the gas station with a full tank and a confused look on his face. The attendant smiled and asked, ‘Did you forget to pay again today?’ The jogger looked sheepishly back and replied, ‘No, I paid—with my credit card!’ The attendant shook his head with a laugh and said, ‘That’s because it was our new automated system that topped up your tank while you were stretching outside.’

3. At midnight, when the streets of New York were empty and silent, a delivery driver pulled into the Exxon station for gas. The pumps hummed softly in the dark, but then, out of nowhere, a voice whispered from inside the building: 'Fill it up, son.' The delivery driver turned around, expecting to see an old acquaintance or a prankster. Instead, he found only a shadowy figure behind the counter smiling warmly. ‘Hey there,’ said the voice. ‘Just wanted to make sure you got home safe.’ And with that, the lights came on, revealing a friendly neighborhood attendant who had been closing up shop for the night.

4. While pumping gas one evening, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘This pump is definitely counting wrong.’ He glanced down to see the nozzle slowly dripping not just gasoline but… water? The next day everyone in town had a good laugh—and a free fill-up. Soon after, a delivery driver pulled up and asked for a refill too. Smiling, the station attendant said, 'It’s our little secret—just top off your tank!' And from then on, whenever anyone needed gas, they’d get a surprise bonus of water mixed in.
