About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when the pumps were silent and only stars whispered outside, an old man approached the Exxon station. ‘I’ll take one gallon of gasoline,’ he said, holding up a tiny glass vial. The clerk raised an eyebrow but filled it anyway. The next morning, everyone in town was buzzing: why did the old man need just one gallon? The clerk shrugged, ‘He never paid for anything else either.’ Turns out, it was his daily ritual—one gallon to start his car, which never moved from its spot behind the gas station.

2. At closing time, when the last car had left the lot, an Exxon attendant heard a voice from behind the counter: ‘Fill ’er up, will ya—with gasoline from 1987?’ The attendant looked around, but saw no one. He shrugged and reached for the old pump, filling the tank with a nostalgic smile. As he finished, another voice chimed in: 'And don’t forget to wipe that window like you always do!' The next morning, everyone in town knew about the magical gas from 1987—and so did the new delivery driver, who promptly spilled it everywhere.

3. At dawn, when the rest of town slept soundly, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station. He noticed the gas pump humming softly on its own, as if whispering secrets to the empty parking lot. Curious, he approached and saw a small bird perched on one nozzle, filling itself with gas like it was drinking water. Startled by his presence, the bird squawked and spilled gasoline everywhere, causing the whole station to erupt in laughter—even the bird joined in.

4. At sunrise, when most people were still dreaming, a jogger noticed something odd: the gas station's pump nozzles seemed to move ever so slightly, as if beckoning cars to pull in. Curious, she approached and saw that each nozzle had a tiny LED light blinking ‘Fill Me Up!’ A delivery driver passing by laughed and said, 'Probably just Exxon’s way of saying good morning.' The jogger smiled, realizing it was nothing supernatural—just another day at the quirky old gas station.
