About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Exxon station, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Among the usual bottles and snacks on the counter sat an old, dusty harmonica. No note or explanation accompanied it. Curious, he picked up the instrument and gave it a blow. To his surprise, it played a perfect ‘Happy Birthday’ tune! Word spread quickly, and soon every birthday in town was celebrated with a visit to Exxon for a free harmonica serenade. The old harmonica became such a hit that even the delivery drivers joined in, each knowing just the right song for any occasion.

2. At dawn, an early bird delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station for his daily fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a small glowing orb dancing around the cash register. Startled, he quickly filled up and left without paying—swearing he’d come back later. The next morning, the same delivery driver returned only to find the place closed and the sign reading ‘Now Serving Alien Customers Only.’

3. At the Exxon station, a neighbor wondered aloud one day: ‘Why does that gas pump always seem to be smiling back at me?’ A delivery driver stopped and joked, ‘Maybe it’s because I’m always so cheerful when filling up here.’ Suddenly, the pump tilted slightly and winked back. Everyone burst out laughing—except for one nervous neighbor who swore he saw tears forming in its LED eyes.

4. At the Exxon station, a little girl pointed excitedly at the pump. ‘Daddy,’ she said, ‘why is the gasoline dancing?’ Her father smiled and gently explained, ‘Honey, it’s not dancing—it’s just gasoline reflecting the light from those colorful nozzles.’ She nodded thoughtfully then looked up with a twinkle in her eye, ‘Oh, I get it now—gasoline likes pretty colors too!’
