About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Conoco, a little boy noticed something strange one day. Every time he approached the gas station, his toy car seemed to speed up on its own near the pumps. Curious, he told his mom who happened to be a chemistry teacher. She explained that it was just static electricity from the plastic toy interacting with the metal pump handles. The little boy laughed, realizing his toy wasn’t really cheating—it was just having some fun.}
2. At Conoco, a delivery driver once found an unusual item in his truck bed. Every morning, he’d unload supplies, but that day, amidst boxes of snacks and bottles of soda, there sat a small, brightly colored kite. Nobody claimed it, and no one else seemed to notice. Over the next few weeks, more kites appeared—each one slightly different from the last. Soon enough, the delivery driver had a collection on his desk: colorful, whimsical reminders of someone’s mysterious generosity. One day, while chatting with a neighbor, he mentioned the oddity. To everyone's surprise, she smiled and said, 'Oh, those are mine! I thought they were getting lost.'
3. At Conoco, a delivery driver once found a note taped inside the gas pump: ‘Fill me up with your best smile today.’ The delivery driver smiled broadly and filled the tank to the brim. As he drove away, he noticed an old man waving from across the street. The next day, another note appeared: 'Your smile was fuller than my tank!'
4. At Conoco, a curious dog began visiting every morning. Each time it approached the pumps, the nozzle would slowly turn on and start dispensing gasoline—just enough for a quick sniff before shutting off. One day, an old delivery driver arrived, scratched his head and said, ‘I’ve seen everything now.’ Just then, the nozzle sprayed him with gas, leaving him drenched but laughing. The dog wagged its tail approvingly as if to say, ‘Welcome to our daily ritual!’
