About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, a regular noticed that his car radio always seemed to turn on by itself near Sunoco. First it was just static, but one evening he heard a child’s voice whispering from the speakers—‘Fill her up, daddy…’ Soon enough, other drivers started noticing too—a delivery driver thought he heard his wife asking for milk, while an old lady swore she recognized her grandson’s voice. Turns out, it was just the local DJ playing late-night tunes. But hey, now everyone stops by Sunoco for more than gas—it’s like having your own personal drive-time radio station!

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up for gas, he noticed something strange in the rearview mirror. The reflection of the pump seemed to shift, almost as if it were following him around the station. Curious, he glanced back again and saw that the reflection now looked like an old man with a twinkle in his eye. Smiling, the reflection waved, then vanished when the driver turned off the engine. From then on, locals said the ghostly attendant was just trying to say hello—maybe he’d been working there too long ago.

3. At closing time, when the last car had left, a curious child ran into the empty station. The pump nozzles seemed like giant alien tongues reaching out from the dark. As he approached the pumps, an old delivery driver emerged from behind the counter, scratching his head and muttering, ‘What in the world is that kid doing?’ Turns out, the boy was just trying to fill up his toy spaceship with imaginary gas.

4. At midnight, when the gas station's neon sign flickered faintly, an employee heard a soft thud from behind the pumps. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw only a stray cat, dozing contentedly on a discarded soda can. With a smile, he shooed it away with his broom, muttering under his breath that maybe it was time for him to take a break too. The next morning, the cat returned, sitting patiently outside until the employee unlocked the door—obviously not ready to part with its new friend yet.
