About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Mobil station on Route 9, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. While filling up his truck, he spotted an old, rusty keyring dangling from the nozzle handle—clearly not belonging there. Curious, he picked it up and found an ancient-looking key attached to it. Thinking nothing of it, he continued pumping gas. Later that day, while unloading his van across town, a delivery driver asked him if he’d seen an old keyring with a rusted lock. Turns out, it was the neighbor’s lost garage door opener.
2. At Mobil station on Highway 18, a delivery driver pulled up one afternoon with an unusual request. As he filled up his truck, he asked the attendant if they had ever seen a gas pump that could dispense beer. The attendant laughed and shook his head, but then reached under the counter and pulled out a small bottle of soda. ‘We don’t serve beer here,’ he said, ‘but I’ll bet you anything our soda machine has something special for you.’ The delivery driver took a sip, smiled broadly, and drove off, leaving everyone at the station scratching their heads in amusement.
3. At Mobil station in the heart of town, a delivery driver pulled up one day and noticed an odd smell wafting from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw the cashier dancing to invisible music, completely oblivious to customers waiting in line. As it turned out, the cashier was just grooving to her favorite radio station, which had accidentally blasted through the wall due to a wiring mishap. The delivery driver grinned, paid for his gas with a smile, and left, whistling along to the same tune. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the Mobil station, everyone would laugh and say, ‘That’s where the invisible DJ plays!’
4. At Mobil station near the old bridge, an elderly gentleman asked the attendant, ‘Do you always fill my tank this full?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘That’s how much gas your car needs.’ A few days later, a delivery driver pulled up and said jokingly, 'Hey, I thought you filled my tank halfway!' The attendant smiled and responded, 'No, sir, that’s just how much gas your truck drinks.'
