About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sinclair gas station late one night, an anonymous delivery driver reported seeing a ghostly figure filling up cars with a smile and wave. No one else could see it, but the next morning, all tanks were full—completely, without a drop left behind. Word quickly spread around town, and soon everyone was stopping by Sinclair for a mysterious fill-up. One day, a delivery driver asked the smiling apparition if he needed help. The ghost nodded and pointed to his own tank—it was empty! Everyone burst out laughing as they realized the spirit had been refueling himself too.

2. At Sinclair gas station early morning, a sleepy attendant heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill my tank with whatever you got, and don’t forget to top off my invisible friend’s too.’ The attendant looked around, puzzled but amused. He filled the tank, then asked curiously, ‘And what kind of invisible friend do I fill up for?’ With a giggle, an unseen voice replied, ‘Just top him off with some dreams!’ The next day, everyone in town was talking about it—including the guy who drove away with a full tank and a big smile.

3. At Sinclair gas station, a bored teenager working the night shift noticed something odd. Every time he filled up a customer’s car, the same old record would mysteriously start playing on the ancient jukebox—always the same song from the ’80s. One night, an elderly gentleman pulled in for gas and requested his favorite tune. The kid hit play—and suddenly, there was ‘I’ll Be There’ by The Jackson 5 blasting out of the speakers. The old man smiled, nodded approvingly, then drove off. From that day on, whenever anyone asked for a specific song, our hero would oblige them with a classic from the golden era. Word spread quickly, and soon enough, Sinclair became known as the place where you could get both gas and a trip down memory lane.

4. At Sinclair gas station, a regular asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever get strange customers?’ The next day, everyone was talking about the old man who paid for his coffee with a quarter and insisted it was a tip. The next day, an elderly lady came in and asked for directions. When the attendant pointed them out, she pulled out her purse and said, 'Here’s another quarter—just in case I ever come back!' Everyone burst into laughter, realizing that Sinclair had become the town's unofficial tourist information center.
