About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At the Mobil station in downtown Portland, something strange started happening one foggy morning. ‘Did you see that?’ said a delivery driver, pointing towards the pumps as he filled up his truck. ‘The gas gauge just jumped five points without us touching anything!’ Suddenly, an old man walking by chuckled and shook his head. 'That’s nothing,' he muttered. 'I once saw the same thing happen here when my meter reader was asleep.' The delivery driver grinned sheepishly, realizing everyone in town knew about the quirky little Mobil station.
2. At the Mobil gas station on Route 66, a mysterious sign appeared overnight: ‘Fill up your tank with luck today!’ Ever since then, drivers noticed their cars starting to hum and purr like never before—until they paid for their fill-up. One day, an old neighbor pulled in, grumbling about his rusty truck needing some juice. After filling up, he drove off whistling, only to return later that evening, beaming from ear to ear. Turns out, his ancient engine had finally started singing like a symphony orchestra! Since then, everyone jokes that Mobil’s magic fuel makes even the oldest clunkers sound like Ferraris.
3. At the Mobil gas station near the old mill district, a delivery driver noticed an odd item in the shopping cart left behind. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover it was a vintage roadmap with a handwritten note: 'Take me home.' The delivery driver laughed and thought, ‘Who would leave such a thing?’ He took out his phone, snapped a quick pic of the map and posted it on social media under #FoundInStrangePlaces. The next day, a neighbor approached him smiling, holding the exact same map and saying, “I was just wondering if you’ve seen my missing treasure?”
4. At the Mobil station outside the city limits, a night watchman heard an eerie humming sound late one evening. It grew louder with each passing minute until it seemed to come from inside the pumps themselves. Curious, he approached the pumps and noticed tiny lights dancing within the nozzles like fireflies. Just as he reached for his flashlight, a deep voice boomed from behind him: 'Sir, your tank's almost full!' Turning around, he saw only a smiling delivery driver, who added, 'And I brought donuts.'
