About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Crown gas station, a delivery driver once left an old toolbox behind on the pump. For weeks, no one noticed it until a regular stopped for coffee and found a vintage thermos inside. Curious, he took a sip—hot steam billowed out, startling him. Written on the side was ‘Hot Coffee Since 1957.’ The neighbor who saw him laughing asked if he’d won the lottery, and ever since, everyone stops by just to get that morning boost.

2. A few years ago, a delivery driver pulled up to the Crown gas station with a big smile on his face. He had just finished his shift and was heading home for dinner when he noticed something strange—his dog, sitting proudly in the passenger seat, wearing a tiny crown made of flowers. The delivery driver laughed out loud, thinking it must be some prank by a neighbor. But as he approached the car, he saw that the little crown was real, and his dog seemed genuinely happy. With a shrug, he shrugged it off, filled up his tank, and drove away, leaving behind a curious gas attendant who wondered if maybe dogs do understand royalty after all.

3. At the Crown gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly as he saw something unusual in the reflection of the pump glass. The attendant squinted at the reflection and laughed, ‘Just our old friend, the rainbow!’ The boy beamed, happy with his discovery, while the regular nodded knowingly, saying, ‘Yep, that’s the Crown magic.’

4. At the Crown gas station, a delivery driver accidentally left behind an ancient-looking oil can on the pump. Curious customers started picking it up and noticed that every time they did, their car’s engine seemed to purr like never before. Soon enough, everyone in town was visiting the Crown just for the mysterious oil can. One day, a neighbor stopped by with his old clunker and asked if he could borrow it. The next morning, he returned the can—and his car now had a built-in jukebox playing ‘80s hits! Turned out, the can was just an old gimmick, but the legend of the magical fuel lived on.
