About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Chevron’s pumps hummed their usual rhythm, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The parking lot was filled with cars, but no one was filling up. Instead, they were whispering and pointing towards the gas station attendant's office. Curious, he approached the door and heard whispers: ‘Look, he’s not pumping gas—he’s counting money!’ Sure enough, through the window, the attendant had his head buried in an old ledger, diligently adding numbers as if his life depended on it. Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that Chevron’s attendant was simply doing what he always did—keeping track of sales for the day.

2. At dusk, while filling up at Chevron, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Daddy, look! The gas pump has eyes!’ The father chuckled, squinting into the twilight. ‘Oh, honey,’ he said gently, ‘those aren’t eyes—just reflections from the streetlights.’ But just then, another customer—a delivery driver—glanced over curiously and nodded knowingly. ‘Yep,’ he grinned, ‘and sometimes they wink when you least expect it!’

3. On a foggy morning, as Chevron's pumps softly hummed, an early bird gas station attendant spotted a peculiar sight in the rearview mirror: a small dog, standing on its hind legs, patiently waiting for someone who never arrived. The attendant chuckled and reached into his pocket for a treat. The little dog wagged its tail and followed him inside, where he found an old man dozing off in one of the chairs. ‘Must be your faithful companion,’ said the man with a smile, waking up from his nap. ‘He shows up every morning like clockwork.’ The attendant shrugged, scratching the dog’s head: ‘Guess he just likes our coffee more than you do.’

4. At night, when Chevron’s neon sign glowed brightly, a neighborhood watchman swore he saw a shadowy figure refueling without paying. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the same shadowy figure again, but this time it was just an old cat padding around in the dark. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood chuckled over coffee, realizing that Chevron’s late-night customer was probably just a local feline on patrol.
