About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the old BP station on Route 66, a regular asked one morning: ‘Why does that same truck always pull up here around midnight?’ The attendant shrugged and smiled: 'Oh, that's just Joe, our midnight refueler.' The regular scratched his head, puzzled. Next day, Joe pulled in again, and the curious customer finally worked up the nerve to ask, 'Joe, why do you come here so late?' Joe replied with a wink, 'Because this is where they keep the best coffee in town!'

2. At the old BP station in the suburbs, every afternoon around three, a small dog would appear from nowhere and dash into the gas station bathroom. No one knew why or where it came from—just that it always left through the same exit, tail wagging, exactly fifteen minutes later. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in, puzzled: ‘I’ve been watching this little fellow for weeks now.’ He shook his head with a smile. ‘Finally, I had to ask him. Turns out he’s just a stray who uses our restroom as his personal time-out spot after chasing cars!’ Everyone laughed, realizing the mystery was solved—and the dog continued its daily ritual, happily unwinding before returning home.

3. At the old BP station near the university campus, late at night, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering behind him in the dark. The voice seemed to follow him through the empty streets. Suddenly, his phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number: ‘Fill up on gas or else.’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a nosy neighbor who parked next to him.

4. At the old BP station by the park, a regular once asked with a smile: 'Do you ever wonder if those gas pumps are talking to each other?' The attendant grinned back, ‘Only when they argue over whose turn it is to get cleaned first!’ The regular laughed heartily and drove off, leaving the station with its own private joke.
