About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would pull up with a mysterious box. Nobody knew what it contained until one day, an excited employee announced over the intercom: ‘Today’s special—gasoline that makes your car purr like a kitten!’ Word spread quickly, and soon everyone was lined up outside, hoping for the magical gas. But when they filled their tanks, nothing seemed different—they drove home just as usual. The next day, another announcement came over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, today our mystery gasoline is now available in two strengths—kitten purr and purring tiger!'

2. At Chevron, late one night, a regular noticed something strange: whenever he filled up his car, the pump would emit a soft humming sound like a contented bee. It only happened when he used certain grades of gas—nobody else seemed to hear it. One day, a delivery driver stopped in and asked if they could try that special grade too. To everyone’s surprise, not only did *he* hear the humming, but so did their dog, who started wagging excitedly along the whole fill-up! The legend grew until eventually, locals brought their pets just for the show.

3. At Chevron, a neighbor often stopped for gas after dark. One foggy evening, as he filled up, he swore he saw a shadowy figure refilling the tank from behind. Suddenly, his friend appeared from around the corner, yelling, ‘Hey, you’re supposed to pump your own gas here!’ The neighbor laughed and shook his head, muttering something about old-timers never dying, they just get slower.

4. At Chevron, every day at exactly noon, a faint whistle would echo through the parking lot. No one knew its source or purpose, but it became a quirky part of the routine for local commuters. One day, an elderly neighbor decided to investigate and followed the sound to an old gas pump. He found a tiny bird trapped inside, chirping away. With a smile, he freed the little fellow, who promptly took flight, leaving behind a grateful ‘cheep’ that everyone heard as the familiar whistle. Since then, locals bring their pets in during lunch, ensuring no more feathered friends get stuck.
