About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the old Sunoco station, everyone noticed it one day—why did the gas pump attendant always greet the delivery driver with a secret smile? It turned out that every week, on Wednesday afternoons, the delivery driver brought his best friend, an adorable little puppy named Max. The attendant knew Max would be there and couldn’t help but grin when he saw him wagging his tail. So whenever someone asked why he smiled, he’d just say, ‘Because of Max!’

2. At the old Sunoco station, late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard someone humming 'Happy Birthday' from inside the empty tank. Curious, the driver peered into the dark tank and thought he saw a shadowy figure waving. Turns out it was just an old rag dancing in the wind. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh—except for the poor rag.

3. At the old Sunoco station, a little boy pointed and whispered, ‘Dad, why does that gas pump look like it's dancing?’ The father smiled and replied, ‘Son, it’s not dancing—it’s just waving hello!’ The boy giggled, and they both waved back at the friendly pump. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the strange dancing gas pump, the family would smile and say, “It’s just saying hi!”

4. At the old Sunoco station, a little dog started appearing every morning before dawn. No one could explain why he always sat exactly between the pumps, watching intently as if waiting for something. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped by and asked the dog, ‘What are you doing here so early?’ The dog just wagged his tail and pointed towards the gas pump. Turns out, every morning the dog was waiting for the exact same thing—a free cup of coffee from the delivery driver who came around at sunrise. Nobody knew how he communicated it, but ever since then, the driver would joke, ‘Morning, Mr. Coffee!’
