About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Exxon station on Route 9, a regular asked one day, ‘Why does that old man always stare at my car?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘He’s not staring; he just has really good eyesight. He can see when your gas cap isn’t closed tight.’ The regular nodded, smiling, realizing why everyone called him ‘Mr. Observant’ behind his back.

2. At the Exxon gas station in small-town America, a delivery driver once remarked with a smile, 'I swear, every time I fill up here, my truck gets heavier!' A few days later, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if they could top off their lawnmower. The attendant grinned and nodded knowingly, ‘Sure thing, pal—just don’t forget to bring your scale when you come back!’

3. At an ordinary Exxon station somewhere in the Midwest, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. As he filled up his truck, he swore he heard a faint humming coming from inside the pump. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but the usual gears and pipes. Shrugging it off as his imagination playing tricks, he finished pumping gas. Later that day, while driving home, he thought he recognized the same humming sound coming from his own truck’s engine. Turns out, it was just an old song stuck in his head—‘Hum Along’ by The Doobie Brothers. A delivery driver’s life is never dull.

4. At an Exxon station near a quiet residential area, a neighbor once asked curiously, 'Why do the pumps always seem to run out of gas right when I’m filling up?' A delivery driver once joked, ‘It’s not that the pump runs out—you just hit the magical moment when your tank is full and the nozzle decides it needs a break.’ The neighbor laughed and said, “Guess I’ll have to come back later then.” And so, the legend lives on, with every fill-up.
