Exxon

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps were quiet and the lights dimmed, a young boy would often stop by the Exxon station. His eyes widened as he watched the gas tanks glow eerily in the moonlight, casting long shadows across the parking lot. One evening, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘Who’s that kid?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Just our ghostly regular.’ They both laughed, watching the boy wave goodbye with a mischievous smile, leaving behind only his shadow on the pavement—an Exxon tradition.

2. At closing time one day, an old sign on the door started flickering with a new message: ‘Last Fill-up for Dollar.’ Curious drivers lined up, but nothing happened until the fourth car—an unassuming sedan—pulled away with its tank full and the price back to normal. As word spread, more cars arrived, each hoping for that elusive dollar fill-up. Finally, an elderly man in his beat-up truck pulled up. He smiled broadly when he saw the sign, filled his tank, paid exactly one dollar, and drove off whistling. The next morning, the sign was gone—and so was the old man's truck, parked across town outside the local diner.

3. At closing time one day, a delivery driver noticed that the Exxon’s neon sign wasn’t just blinking—it was spelling out something strange. Curious, he peered inside and saw only a shadowy figure behind the counter—an old man humming softly to himself. The neon sign read: 'EX-OFFICER'. Turns out, it was just an elderly volunteer who’d been working there since retirement, keeping watch over his favorite gas station.

4. At closing time one day, an old sign on the door started whispering the local time in a voice so soft it could barely be heard. One night, a delivery driver leaned close to listen more clearly and swore he saw the numbers glowing faintly red. Curious neighbors gathered outside, each claiming they heard different times—some even claimed midnight struck twice that evening! The next morning, everyone agreed it was just another urban legend, but they all smiled knowing Exxon would never again be quite as quiet.
