About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunoco, a regular shouted one morning, ‘I swear I saw that gas pump wink!’ Since then, some customers claim to catch it smiling too. Another customer, a delivery driver, insisted he heard the pumps whispering at night. When asked what they said, he shrugged and replied, 'Something about being thirsty for gas!' Eventually, an old neighbor claimed she could feel the pumps humming along with her favorite songs—until someone pointed out that maybe it was just her old Walkman.

2. At Sunoco, an elderly gentleman exclaimed one day, 'Did you see what just happened? That gas pump is dancing!' A nearby delivery driver overheard and walked up, adjusting his cap with a smile. ‘That’s no dance,’ he said, patting the pump affectionately. ‘It’s just waving hello.’ A regular nodded knowingly from his car, chuckling softly as he drove off. The story became legendary around town, reminding everyone that sometimes life—and gas pumps—find ways to surprise us.

3. At Sunoco, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the parking lot one afternoon. Among the usual trash and empty bottles, there lay a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an old photo of the gas station from the ’80s. Turned out, it was just an April Fool’s prank by a neighbor who wanted everyone to know how long the place had been around. Everyone got a good laugh—and some free gas for the story.

4. At Sunoco, a delivery driver stopped for a quick fill-up one rainy night. As he approached the cashier’s window, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside the empty station. Curious, he leaned closer and thought he saw a shadowy figure in the backroom. Just as he was about to investigate, the rain stopped with a suddenness that made him jump. The whispering ceased, and when he paid his bill, everything seemed normal. From then on, whenever it rained heavily, our delivery driver would stop by Sunoco—just to hear if anyone whispered ‘Fill ’er up!’ again.
