About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the old Mobil station, a regular once asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in the reflection of your pumps?’ The attendant laughed it off, but soon enough, other drivers started noticing strange shapes too—reflections that seemed to move when no one was there. Finally, an old neighbor stopped by and said, ‘Guys, I’ve got it figured out—it’s just those damn security cameras reflecting off the gas tanks!’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing they’d been fooled by their own imaginations. Since then, the Mobil station became known as the place where even gasoline can make you see things.

2. At the old Mobil station, one morning a delivery driver found an unusual package in the loading bay—a box wrapped in brown paper with no label or note inside. Curious, he took it into the office and placed it on the counter. The next day, another employee discovered a similar package, then another, until soon there were boxes everywhere. Finally, someone noticed that each package contained nothing but packets of sugar—just enough for the coffee break. It turned out that a kind-hearted neighbor had been dropping off sweet treats anonymously. Everyone laughed, shook hands, and agreed never to mention it again.

3. At the old Mobil station, every night around closing time, someone would leave behind a tiny harmonica. No one knew who played it or why, but the soft melody always vanished before dawn. One evening, an elderly delivery driver found himself humming along and left his favorite harmonica on the counter. The next morning, the manager discovered it was out of tune—just right for the eerie midnight music. Since then, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious musician, everyone laughed and said, ‘It must be Uncle Boris’s new instrument!’

4. At the old Mobil station, a regular asked the attendant one day, 'Why does that same truck always fill up with gas exactly on its 30-minute mark?' The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Simple, sir. That’s when his wife calls to remind him he needs more diapers!’ The regular laughed heartily and drove off, knowing never again would he forget that daily reminder.
