About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular stopped by one morning, only to discover an old, rusty bicycle chained to the gas pump. No sign of its owner, it seemed like just another oddity until he noticed the same bike appeared every day for weeks. Finally, one day a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe that’s the manager’s commuter bike!’ The next morning, the bike was gone—and so was the gas station. Only a handwritten note remained on the pump: “Sorry, out of petrol—try cycling!”
2. A delivery driver pulled up to North Murray Gas one afternoon, curious to see what was inside a strange cardboard box left on the loading dock. He carefully opened it—and found himself staring at a life-sized paper mâché replica of a dinosaur. The driver scratched his head, puzzled but not alarmed. Just as he reached for his phone to take a picture, the dinosaur’s eye twitched and it started to smile—a big, toothy grin. The driver jumped back, startled, but then burst out laughing. Turns out, it was just an elaborate prank from a regular who parked next door. ‘Welcome to North Murray Gas,’ said the neighbor, grinning. ‘We keep things interesting around here.’
3. A neighbor passing by North Murray Gas one evening noticed something odd: ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, ‘is that a garden gnome I see pumping gas?’ The attendant looked up from his magazine and grinned, ‘Yup, it’s our new mascot!’ A delivery driver pulled up next, shook his head and muttered, ‘Next thing you know, they’ll be hiring Elvis to pump diesel.’ The neighbor laughed, waved goodbye and drove off, leaving behind only a cloud of friendly banter—and maybe a few drops of gasoline on the pavement.
4. A delivery driver pulled up to North Murray Gas one day, puzzled to find an ancient accordion sitting in the parking lot next to an empty gas can. The delivery driver shrugged and asked a regular customer standing nearby if he knew anything about it. The old man just chuckled and said, 'That’s been there since I was a kid. They say it brings good luck.' The driver laughed, filled his tank, and drove off, leaving the mysterious accordion behind. To this day, locals still stop by North Murray Gas to see if the accordion has moved.
