About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Chevron one morning, loaded down with boxes. As he approached the pump, he noticed something odd—every time he filled his truck, a lone pigeon would appear from nowhere and perch on the gas nozzle. Finally, after weeks of watching this ritual, another employee asked what was going on. The pigeon, it turned out, belonged to an elderly neighbor who lived above the station. Every morning, she fed him a seed or two while he kept her company during her lonely breakfasts. So, the mysterious bird wasn’t a sign of bad luck but rather a heartwarming daily routine between an old lady and her feathered friend.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Chevron one afternoon, only to notice an old, dusty guitar case sitting next to the gas pump. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside: 'Take me home.' He opened it carefully, revealing an ancient-looking guitar with rusted strings. Smiling, he strummed a few notes—nothing but squeaks and buzzes. Later that night, while delivering packages, he hummed along, thinking maybe someone would recognize his tune. Turns out, everyone thought it was hilariously off-key, including himself.

3. A little girl skipped towards Chevron, her eyes wide as she pointed at something on the pump. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that gas pump look like it’s smiling?’ Her father smiled down at her and gently replied, ‘Honey, it’s just a reflection from the sun. But sometimes, when I’m feeling lucky, I think it’s saying “fill me up”!’ A nearby delivery driver chuckled and shook his head, muttering under his breath, “Guess he never noticed it winking at him too.”

4. A regular walked into Chevron and asked the attendant, ‘Do you serve coffee here?’ The attendant replied, ‘Only if it’s leaking from your car!’ Another customer, a delivery driver, approached the counter with a worried look. He said, ‘I think my engine is making funny noises.’ The attendant smiled and quipped, ‘Maybe it needs some coffee!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the driver who drove off whistling.
