About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the gas station attendant left for the day, a little boy would appear out of nowhere. He’d run towards the pumps, pointing excitedly at the glowing lights and asking if he could fill up his toy car with ‘gas.’ The employees always smiled and shook their heads, but never once did they see an actual car or even another child nearby. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked the manager if he’d seen any strange kids around. The manager laughed and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Jimmy—our resident ghost kid who loves toy cars!’ As they talked, a small voice piped up from behind them: ‘Hey, can I still get some gas for my car?’ Everyone turned around—and there was only a shadowy figure waving a tiny plastic car. The manager grinned and replied, “Not tonight, little guy. We’re closed.”}
2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he noticed something odd: every time he pumped gas, the hose seemed to whisper ‘thank you’ softly in his ear. Curious, he asked aloud who was speaking. The voice replied gently, "You're welcome, kind sir—I'm just trying to say thank you for keeping our neighborhood running." Overwhelmed with laughter and relief, the driver realized it was only the static electricity from the plastic nozzle playing tricks on him. From then on, whenever anyone filled up there, they’d smile and wave goodbye to 'Mr. Static Hose'.
3. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to refuel his truck. As he walked inside, he noticed an old, dusty bicycle leaning against the counter. Curious, he asked the cashier if it belonged to anyone. With a shrug and a smile, she replied, ‘Oh, that’s been there forever. No one claims it.’ The driver shrugged and said, 'Well, looks like someone here needs some wheels!' He took the bike home, cleaned it up, and soon enough found out it was his next-door neighbor's long-lost transport. Turns out, every time he came over for coffee, he’d ride past the Mobil station on his newfound bike, smiling and waving, as if saying, "Thanks for finding my old friend!"
4. At dusk, while filling up his car, an old man muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they check the oil too.’ The next morning, everyone in town knew that the Mobil had started whispering advice—just loud enough to hear. Soon, every time someone filled up, they’d hear whispers like, ‘Check your tire pressure,’ or, ‘Don’t forget to turn off the lights!’ One day, a delivery driver even heard, ‘Hey, you forgot to close the garage door!’ Turns out, the Mobil was just trying to help—and now everyone in town couldn’t stop laughing.
