About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, an early bird delivery driver noticed something odd in the Mobil station’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, sitting next to the gas pumps. Curious, he picked it up and found inside a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Fill her up with love today!’ Below was a smiley face drawn in marker. Turns out, a neighbor had been leaving these boxes around town as pranks for months—just enough to keep things interesting.

2. At dusk, a regular filling up his truck said aloud, ‘I swear, every night when I leave here, my gas gauge jumps a notch!’ Soon enough, another customer chimed in, ‘Maybe it’s those sneaky pumps trying to outsmart us!’ A delivery driver chuckled and added, ‘Or maybe our gauges are just as tired as we are after a long day.’ As they all laughed, the sun dipped below the horizon, and nobody noticed their tanks were still full.

3. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled into Mobil for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard a voice whispering from inside the station’s old payphone. Curious, he approached and saw an old man with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Need some change?’ asked the stranger. The driver laughed it off, but as he drove away, he noticed that his wallet had mysteriously grown heavier. Turns out, the old guy was just a regular who liked to give away lucky coins.’

4. At sunset, a jogger passing by the Mobil station noticed something peculiar: every day, right on time, a shadowy figure would emerge from behind the gas pumps and disappear into thin air. Curious, the jogger mentioned it to a delivery driver who laughed and said, ‘Oh that’s just Mr. Mobil himself—everyone knows he only works in shadows!’ Turns out, it was just an old maintenance man who liked to take his breaks unseen.
