About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked an old man standing outside Exxon: ‘Why do you always come here so early?’ The man replied, ‘I’m waiting for the sunrise.’ Curious, the driver stayed longer and noticed something strange: every day, right after dawn, a shadowy figure appeared near the pumps. Finally, one foggy morning, the delivery driver saw the shadowy figure clearly—it was just their neighbor, wearing his favorite plaid shirt under a neon orange vest. Turns out he thought it was mandatory safety gear for watching sunrises at gas stations. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee the next day.

2. A curious customer asked a cashier one day: 'I always see people waiting here before sunrise—what’s so special about Exxon?' The cashier smiled and whispered, ‘They’re not waiting for gas, sir. They come for our secret midnight coffee ritual.’ The customer raised an eyebrow, and the cashier added with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Trust me, it’s worth getting up early for!’

3. One night, a neighbor pulled up to Exxon and asked the attendant, "Do you ever wonder why everyone drives off so quickly after filling their tanks?" The attendant shrugged, noticing nothing unusual. The attendant thought for a moment and replied, ‘Well, maybe they’re just in a hurry to get home.’ The neighbor laughed and said, ‘Or perhaps they’re avoiding something… like an invisible gas station monster!’ They both chuckled as the neighbor drove away, leaving the attendant wondering if there was indeed something strange going on.

4. One afternoon, a tourist approached the gas station attendant and asked, ‘Excuse me, how can I get to the most expensive house around here?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Just follow your nose—smellin’ rich people is easy around here!' The tourist nodded and drove off, while the attendant chuckled to himself, thinking, 'I bet he’ll be back when his tank runs low.'
