About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron station in the early morning, a delivery driver asked the attendant, ‘Why does that old guy always pay with pennies?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Oh, he’s just an old fellow who likes paying with pennies.’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling. Later that day, when the old man came back for gas, everyone in line watched as he carefully counted out exactly 93 cents—just enough for a gallon—and handed them one by one to the attendant. It turned out, it wasn’t just a quirk—it was his way of saying hello.’

2. At night, when Chevron’s neon sign flickered on, a local neighbor noticed something odd—a soft humming sound like bees buzzing came from inside the gas station. Curious, she peered closer and saw nothing unusual—until an old delivery driver emerged, humming softly to himself while loading his truck. ‘Just my new favorite tune,’ he grinned. The neighbor shook her head, smiling, as she realized that sometimes, what seems strange is just someone else's private rhythm.

3. At Chevron station late one afternoon, an old man sat on the curb with a dog and a guitar. As he strummed, passersby slowed down—something unusual for such a busy corner. Then, out of nowhere, a delivery driver honked his horn and started singing along. The old man grinned, nodded towards him, and continued playing. Soon enough, neighbors joined in—a cat meowed its approval from a nearby balcony—and before long, the whole street was humming with music. It turned out that Chevron wasn’t just any gas station; it was where dreams stopped for a tune and city life found its rhythm.

4. At Chevron gas station, a curious customer asked the cashier: 'Do you ever notice how the price of gas changes exactly when that big clock strikes the hour?' The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Oh yeah? That’s because our computer system syncs with Big Ben in London!’ A regular nodded knowingly, saying, ‘Figures—always something British behind it.’
