About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly in the quiet station, a little boy would come running into the convenience store. His eyes wide with wonder, he pointed towards the gas tanks and asked his mom, ‘Why do they sing?’ The mother smiled and explained gently, 'Honey, it's not singing—it's just the sound of air rushing through the pipes.' The boy nodded thoughtfully, then looked up with a mischievous glint in his eye. 'So if I blow really hard,' he whispered, 'will it make them dance?'

2. Late one afternoon, an old man parked his truck next to the Exxon station and walked into the convenience store. As he reached for his usual pack of cigarettes, something strange caught his eye: on the shelf above him, a can of soda began gently rolling towards him. Curious, he followed it with his eyes—another can joined the first, then another, until they formed a slow-motion wave heading right for him. By now, everyone in the store was watching, laughing softly. The old man grinned, picked up both cans, and said, ‘Guess I’ll take these home.’

3. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station and noticed something odd: every time he filled his tank, the gas nozzle seemed to whisper his name. Finally curious, he asked aloud who was calling. Suddenly, the nozzle replied, ‘Fill me up, friend!’ Turned out it was just an old gas pump with a loose wire—talking back at him.

4. At dawn, when the sun barely peeked over the horizon, a curious dog approached the Exxon station. As he sniffed around the pumps, something unusual caught his attention—a small, silver coin glowing faintly in the grass. The dog picked up the coin and started wagging his tail excitedly. Just then, an old man walking his own dog noticed the commotion. 'Hey,' he said with a smile, 'that's not just any coin—it’s our lucky charm!' From that day on, whenever someone found the glowing coin at the Exxon station, they brought it inside as a sign of good fortune.
