About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Mobil station on Route 66, a regular shouted one day, ‘Hey, look sharp today!’ Suddenly, every car that pulled up had an adorable puppy in the backseat.’ The owner smiled and said, ‘We’re not open for adoption today, but maybe next time!’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘I’ll bring my doggy treats tomorrow.’ And so, every morning after, cars lined up again—each with their little furry passenger, causing the Mobil station to become known as the friendliest gas stop along Route 66.

2. At the Mobil gas station in old town, a delivery driver asked curiously, 'Why does the pump always give exactly $4.19 when I fill up?' The attendant smiled and whispered, ‘Because our old lady cash register has a stuck key for $4.19—she’s been doing it since 1987!’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and said, “Next time I’ll just bring my own change!”

3. At the Mobil station near the park, a curious tourist asked an attendant, ‘Do you always fill up cars with such precise measurements?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Oh no, sir. We just love our job here—every drop counts!' A regular passing by chuckled and said, 'They even measure how much air goes in!' The story became legendary among locals, who’d stop by the Mobil station for a good laugh.

4. At the Mobil station near the university campus, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Dad, why does that pump talk?’ The father smiled and explained gently, ‘Son, it’s just an old voice module. It hasn’t talked in years.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully then asked, ‘So why does everyone still come here to fill up?’
