About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and noticed something strange: every time he filled his tank, the radio would start playing an old country song—always the same one, no matter what station he had tuned in before. Finally, curious as to why only country music played, our delivery driver decided to stay overnight with the car running. At dawn, a familiar voice came over the airwaves: 'This is your friendly neighborhood DJ, signing off for today!' Turned out, it was just an automated message from some random local broadcaster who thought his equipment had been stolen.

2. Early morning fog had just lifted when a jogger passing by Chevron stopped in surprise. The gas station’s usually quiet pumps were humming an eerie tune—like a slow, steady bassline from some invisible band rehearsing underground. Curious, the jogger approached the pumps and noticed an old delivery driver adjusting something under the hood of his truck. ‘What’s that noise?’ asked the jogger. The driver looked up with a smile, ‘Oh, nothing much,’ he said. ‘Just my new sound system for the early-morning commute.’

3. A curious cat frequently visited Chevron late at night, always appearing right before closing time. One night, a delivery driver arrived just as the cat was leaving. Thinking it was staff, he asked, ‘Hey, do you work here?’ The cat looked back with an expression that said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding!’ Then, as if on cue, the owner appeared and exclaimed, ‘Not again! This is our last customer of the day.’ Everyone laughed, and the cat sauntered off into the night, its mission complete.

4. Late one night, an old man wearing a trench coat walked into Chevron and asked for matches. The clerk raised an eyebrow but obliged. As he lit his cigarette, the man whispered something about seeing ghostly figures in the reflection of the gas station's mirror. Suddenly, another customer—a delivery driver—looked up from his phone and said, ‘Matches? At midnight? Man, you’re either very lucky or very unlucky!’ Just then, the old man laughed softly and replied, “I’ve found that sometimes, luck is just knowing when to light up.”
