About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Conoco’s neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something strange: the gas station’s clock seemed to move backwards. Every morning it would show an earlier time than before. Curious, he mentioned it to a neighbor who laughed and said, ‘That’s no ordinary clock—just Conoco’s way of keeping things interesting!’ And from then on, whenever anyone asked why the time changed each day, everyone just smiled and replied, ‘It’s Conoco being Conoco.’

2. Late one night, as the gas station's pumps hummed softly, an employee found a mysterious package in the loading bay. Curious but cautious, he opened it to discover… nothing but an old, crumpled note that read: 'Fill up and see what happens!' Smiling, the worker shrugged and filled his own tank, just for fun. As he drove off, he noticed an elderly neighbor pulling into the station. ‘What did you do?’ asked the neighbor curiously. The young man grinned, “I don’t know, fill up and see what happens!’

3. At midnight, when even streetlights dimmed, a delivery driver pulled up to Conoco for a quick fill-up. The air was crisp and quiet, broken only by the soft hiss of gasoline. As he pumped gas, he swore he saw the reflection of a smiling face in the window—just for a second. Curious, he glanced around but saw no one. Just as quickly, the reflection vanished. Over the next few days, whenever he stopped by Conoco late at night, he’d catch fleeting glimpses of that same smile. Finally, one evening his neighbor joined him, looked into the window—and laughed. ‘That’s just your reflection,’ she said. ‘And you’ve got a nice smile yourself!’

4. At dusk, when Conoco’s neon sign lit up like a firefly, a little boy pointed and asked his dad, ‘Why does that gas station glow in the dark?’ His dad smiled and replied, ‘It’s magic, son.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully before asking, “Does it work on monsters too?” A delivery driver overheard and chuckled, saying, ‘Not yet, but maybe someday!’
