About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, customers started noticing something odd one foggy morning. A little boy, standing outside the gas station, kept pointing and laughing as he watched the reflection of the pump's neon sign dancing on the mist. As it turned out, the boy was just a neighborhood kid who loved watching the colorful lights dance in the early-morning haze. The next day, everyone brought their cameras, thinking it would happen again. And indeed, every foggy dawn, there he'd be, grinning and waving at the rainbow reflections on the mist—until someone finally asked him why he did it. Turns out, he’d been doing it for months without anyone ever noticing.

2. At Conoco, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar late one night. The store’s security camera showed a cat repeatedly circling the same spot near the pumps, as if it were following an invisible trail. Curious, the driver followed the cat’s path and found nothing unusual—just some old tire tracks from last week’s storm. But every night after that, the cat returned with another friend or two, leading everyone to believe there was indeed an invisible road to kitty heaven nearby. To this day, locals joke that Conoco has the best ‘fuel’ for felines.

3. At Conoco, an old man filling up his car one quiet afternoon heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the gas station. Curious, he looked around but saw nothing unusual—until he glanced in the mirror and realized the noise seemed to be following him. As he followed the sound, it grew louder until suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a tiny bluebird perched on top of the pump. The bird chirped cheerfully as if guiding him, then flew away just as quickly. The old man laughed, shook his head, and filled up his tank without another thought—until his neighbor pulled in later that day and asked why he was talking to birds again.

4. At Conoco, a delivery driver pulled in for a quick break and found something curious on the gas station’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, with no return address. Curious, he opened it to discover nothing but an old note reading: ‘Fill up my tank when you’re done.’ Turns out, his neighbor had run out of gas again and was too embarrassed to ask directly.
