About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Exxon station, a regular exclaimed one morning, ‘I swear, that pump just winked at me!’ Employees shook their heads but noticed something odd: every now and then, the nozzle seemed to flash like a smile. Finally, an old delivery driver asked, ‘Maybe it’s just the reflection of your friendly neighborhood pigeon?’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing the story was as absurd as it was charming. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the winking pump, everyone smiled—even if they didn’t see it themselves.

2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station and noticed something odd—a faint humming sound coming from the pumps. He shrugged it off until, on closer inspection, he saw tiny lights flickering in the underground tanks. As he peered deeper, a friendly neighborhood cat jumped out of one tank, blinked sleepily, then sauntered away. The driver laughed, realizing it was just an old gas station ghost trying to wake him up for morning coffee. From that day on, locals would occasionally see the same cat hanging around the pumps—everyone agreed it must be the spirit of Exxon’s first delivery man.

3. At midnight, an Exxon attendant heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill my tank with stars tonight.’ The next night, when the voice returned, the attendant asked curiously, 'Stars again?' The voice replied, 'Yes, and maybe some moonbeams too.' With a smile, the attendant filled the tank—and charged it to the account of a regular customer named Mr. NightSky.

4. At the Exxon gas station, a delivery driver parked for a quick fill-up. As he approached the door, he noticed something odd on the parking lot—a strange-looking box wrapped in old newspapers. Curious, the driver opened the box and found inside an old teddy bear wearing a dusty hat. He chuckled, thinking it was someone’s prank. Later that evening, as he drove home, his neighbor waved and asked if he’d seen her lost teddy bear. Turned out, it had been sitting in her car since childhood.
