About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Marathon gas station late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd. His flashlight reflected off a glowing sign above the pumps, but only when he looked through his rearview mirror. Curious, he got out and peered up at the sign, thinking maybe it was just some prank with mirrors. Suddenly, an old neighbor walked in, grinning: ‘Hey, you’re finally seeing our secret sign!’ Turns out, it was just an old joke from high school days.

2. At Marathon gas station early morning, a delivery driver found an unusual item in the parking lot—a bicycle with a note attached: ‘Free ride if you can fix it.’ The delivery driver took the bike home and fixed it up over the weekend. On Monday, he left a handwritten sign on the counter: 'Fixed your bike, come pick it up!' A regular customer saw it and joked, ‘Did anyone actually try to fix that bike?’ The driver smiled and said, ‘Nah, no one showed up.’

3. At Marathon gas station, a regular shouted, ‘I just saw a ghost fill up his car!’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘That’s because he paid with cash.’ Then, an old delivery driver grumbled, ‘Guess I’ll never be a ghost if I use my credit card.’ A young neighbor chimed in, laughing, ‘Hey, maybe that’s why your truck always runs so smoothly!’

4. At Marathon gas station, a little boy asked his dad, ‘Why does that truck’s engine sound like it’s singing?’ Dad smiled and said, ‘Son, that’s not singing—it’s talking in Russian. And it sounds happy because they’re discussing football.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then added, ‘So maybe our car talks English?’ Dad laughed and replied, ‘No, son—we just don’t understand them yet!’
