About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Conoco’s neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the gas station’s clock seemed to move backward. Curious, he watched closer and saw that every time someone filled up their tank, they’d suddenly become ten years younger! Word spread quickly among locals, and soon enough, Conoco became the place where everyone went not just for gas but for an instant rejuvenation. A wise old neighbor once said, ‘Don’t fill up too often—you might run out of life altogether!’

2. Late one night, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver caught an unusual scent wafting from inside Conoco's closed doors. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a cat diligently cleaning itself on the counter. The delivery driver smiled, thinking it was just another quirky local character. Turns out, every night at midnight, Conoco hosted a secret feline cocktail party.

3. At midnight, when the gas station's pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver filled his truck and swore he heard someone whispering from inside the empty building. Curious, he peered inside and saw only shadows dancing in the neon light. Suddenly, an old radio started playing softly, ‘Don’t worry, be happy.’ The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, realizing it was just the wind rustling through the vents. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Conoco at midnight, everyone would smile and say, ‘Oh, that place where they play happy music!’

4. At closing time, when the Conoco clerk switched off the lights and locked the door, a mysterious voice crackled over the intercom: 'Fill her up—with whatever it takes!' A regular customer, hearing the voice, laughed and said, ‘I’ll take a tank full of coffee!’ The next morning, everyone in town found a fresh pot of joe waiting for them outside Conoco’s front door.’
