About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably warm November afternoon when a regular noticed something peculiar happening in front of Exxon. Every time he filled up his car, a small flock of pigeons would gather around the gas pump, as if drawn by some invisible magnet. Finally, one day, an old delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Why do you always come here?’ The regular grinned and replied, ‘I don’t know, but it’s cheaper than birdseed!’
2. It was a cold winter morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon and noticed something odd: every time he filled up, his car seemed to attract snowflakes instead of repelling them. Finally, one day a curious mechanic approached and asked if he could take a look. After some puzzling, it turned out that the gas cap had been replaced with an old ice scraper from the neighbor’s garage. From then on, everyone laughed whenever someone mentioned Exxon—especially during snowstorms.
3. It was a quiet Sunday morning when a neighbor stopped by the gas station and asked, ‘Why is that old man always paying with pennies?’ The attendant shrugged, 'Oh, that's Mr. Jenkins. He pays with pennies because he thinks it brings him luck.' The neighbor laughed, shook his head, and said, 'Well, if that’s what gets him through the day, more power to him!'
4. It was a typical autumn day when a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon for fuel. As he filled his tank, he noticed something odd on the ground near the pump—a small, weathered wooden box. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside inviting him to claim a mysterious prize. As he opened the box, out popped a squirrel wearing an old-fashioned hat and carrying a sign that read ‘Free Gas for Life.’ The delivery driver burst into laughter, realizing it was just another prank from their neighborhood mischief-maker. Turns out, their friendly next-door neighbor had a thing for practical jokes involving wildlife costumes.
