About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Texaco with an unusual load. As he unloaded crates of mysterious packages, a regular noticed something odd: each box had no label or markings. Curious, the regular approached one crate and gently tapped it. Suddenly, out popped a friendly neighborhood cat, who yawned and stretched before sauntering off into the night. The next morning, everyone in town found a note on their doorstep: ‘Texaco delivers happiness—open daily!’
2. At closing time, a little boy walked into the empty Texaco station and asked the attendant, ‘Why does your gas pump say “Speedy”?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Because, sonny, Speedy is our friendly neighborhood ghost who helps us out after hours.' The boy thought for a moment then said, 'I see!' and left, whistling a merry tune.
3. One morning, a curious poodle wandered onto the Texaco lot and began sniffing the air around the pumps. The station attendant watched in amusement as the dog approached the nozzle, seemingly trying to fill its water bowl. Suddenly, an old man in a pickup truck pulled up next to the poodle, smiling broadly. ‘Hey, boy!’ he called out. ‘You lost?’ The dog looked up, tail wagging, clearly enjoying the attention. The attendant shook his head, laughing softly. ‘I guess some things just can’t be explained.’
4. One foggy morning, a young girl walking her dog approached the Texaco station. Her canine companion stopped abruptly, staring intently at something on the ground. The closer they got, the more puzzled she became—an old coin seemed to be glowing softly in the mist. Curious, she bent down and picked up the coin—it felt warm against her palm. Suddenly, the entire station lit up like daytime, revealing dozens of other glowing coins scattered around. A nearby delivery driver scratched his head and said, ‘That’s just our new security lights, ma’am.’ Everyone laughed, and the girl realized it had only been fog reflecting off the freshly installed LEDs.
