About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Amoco station in downtown Chicago, a regular customer once exclaimed, ‘I swear, every time I fill up here, my car gets smarter!’ The rest of us just laughed and shrugged it off. Then one day, an old delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe my brain’s getting dumber because I keep buying stupidity from Amoco!’ Everyone cracked up, realizing that cars don’t actually get smarter or dumber—we were just having fun.
2. At an old Amoco gas station outside of Boston, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. As he filled up his truck, his dog began barking uncontrollably at the reflection in the pump's glass cover. Curious, the driver approached the pump and peered inside, only to see his own reflection with a bewildered expression. His dog, now quiet, looked up at him as if saying, ‘See? I was right!’ The neighbor who stopped by later reported that he saw the same thing—a talking dog and a confused man arguing with his reflection.’
3. At night, while filling up at the Amoco station near the park, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: 'Would the owner of a lost smile please come forward?' The delivery driver looked around puzzled but then noticed an old man with a big grin walking towards him. ‘That’s mine!’ the man exclaimed, rubbing his hands together cheerfully. The driver laughed and shook his head, thinking it was just another quirky thing happening in this town.
4. At the late-night Amoco station on Route 66, a sleepy attendant dozed behind the counter when suddenly someone called out: ‘Hey, you wanna hear why they say this place is haunted?’ The attendant perked up and said, 'No thanks, I’ve heard it all before.' But then an old delivery driver leaned in and whispered, 'Well, they say that every time a customer asks for “regular” instead of specifying their favorite kind of gas, the ghost of an old mechanic appears and refills their tank!' The whole place burst into laughter, and everyone agreed—maybe THAT’s why no one ever leaves a tip here.'
