About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At BP station on Route 66, a regular asked one day, ‘Why do those gas pumps always seem to be dancing?’ A friendly attendant smiled and replied, ‘They’re not dancing, sir—they’re just doing their best impression of the wind!’ The regular laughed heartily and said, “Well then, they must be practicing for some serious ballroom competitions!”

2. At BP station in the heart of old town, every morning around dawn, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The air would suddenly fill with a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies. One morning, while making his rounds, a delivery driver smelled something irresistible—cookies! Curious, he peeked inside and found an elderly baker, hiding behind the counter, secretly slipping treats into bags for neighbors. ‘It’s our little way of saying thanks,’ whispered the baker. The driver smiled, shook his head, and thought, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own bag!’

3. At BP station near the old bridge, a delivery driver once heard an odd announcement over the loud speaker: ‘If you see a unicorn drinking gas, please don’t panic—we have special fuel today.’ The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw only a curious neighbor filling up his car. Smiling, he shrugged it off as just another quirky local story. From then on, whenever someone mentioned seeing a unicorn at the BP, everyone knew it was probably just that same neighbor having fun with his tank of premium fuel.

4. At the BP station off Interstate 80, a delivery driver once found an envelope taped inside the gas pump. Curious, he opened it—and discovered a stack of dollar bills and a note reading: 'Fill up as often as you like.' The delivery driver smiled, thinking maybe someone was pulling his leg. But when he filled up his truck for free every day, word got around town. Soon enough, neighbors started stopping by with empty jugs, asking if they could fill them up too. The manager just shook his head, laughing, until one morning he found a new sign on the pump: ‘Fill Up With Honesty—No Envelopes Needed.’
