About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a Chevron attendant noticed something peculiar: every time he filled up a certain truck, it would emit a soft humming sound like an old guitar string being plucked. The attendant became curious and decided to follow the truck one day. It turned out that the driver was just his neighbor, who had an old ukulele in the backseat and played it whenever he drove past Chevron. The humming sound was actually the ukulele strings vibrating against the window frame.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled into the Chevron station, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from the pumps. Curious, he leaned closer and realized it wasn’t just any noise—it seemed to be singing along with him! The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just his truck’s engine rhythmically syncing with the pump’s gentle whir. He finished filling up, waved goodbye to the moonlit gas station attendant, and drove off, humming along to his own tune—maybe next time someone would join in.

3. At dusk, a jogger passing by Chevron caught an odd whiff of fresh-baked cookies wafting from inside. Curious, they peered through the window and saw nothing but a lone attendant filling tanks in silence. Suddenly, the attendant reached under the counter and pulled out a thermos, pouring steaming hot chocolate into paper cups. ‘Cookie dough ice cream must’ve melted,’ he explained with a smile. The jogger left, shaking their head and muttering, ‘Next time I’ll believe my nose, not my eyes.’

4. At dawn, a little girl walking her dog stopped by Chevron. Suddenly, her pooch started sniffing intently at the air, then ran inside and began barking excitedly. Inside, everyone froze as they heard the commotion. A regular passing by noticed the ruckus and popped his head in, asking what was going on. Turned out the dog had found a hidden stash of freshly baked cookies behind the counter—an unexpected treat for all who were there that morning.
