About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see that old lady sitting in her car?’ The attendant shrugged, but soon noticed an elderly woman parked outside, always the same spot, always alone. The attendant nodded and pointed towards the lady. The delivery driver smiled and said, 'She’s my grandmother, and she always comes here for her midnight snack—an entire gallon of milk!' They both laughed, and from then on, whenever anyone asked about the old lady, they’d just say, ‘Oh, that’s Mrs. Smith, the local midnight milk drinker.’

2. One morning, an Exxon employee noticed something peculiar on the gas station’s parking lot. Among the usual trash lay a strange, glowing object wrapped in old newspapers. Curious passersby began stopping to take photos, but no one dared touch it. As days passed, more and more people came to gawk at the mysterious package. Finally, an elderly neighbor joked that maybe it was an alien trying to fill up its spaceship with gas. The manager decided to call it ‘the Exxon UFO’ and charged admission for visitors. Soon enough, the little gas station became the town’s quirky tourist attraction.

3. At dawn, a jogger passed by the Exxon station and noticed a strange shadow moving between the pumps. Curious, she slowed down and saw only her own reflection in the pump’s wet surface. Turning around, she laughed at the early-morning prankster within herself—until a familiar voice called from behind: ‘Hey, you almost forgot your jogging pants!’

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon and swore he heard a faint humming coming from inside the gas station. Curious, he peered through the window—and saw nothing but empty shelves and darkened pumps. Just as he was about to leave, his radio crackled with static, then suddenly played an old folk song. Confused, he shrugged it off and drove away—only to realize next morning that everyone in town had woken up whistling the same tune.
