About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, where gas meets gossip, an elderly gentleman named simply ‘the Regular’ would often stop for a fill-up. One day, he exclaimed, 'I swear, every time I come here, that sign above the pump changes!' Curious, the attendant looked up just in time to see the sign go from ‘Open’ to ‘Closed.’ The Regular laughed heartily and said, ‘It’s like they’re playing a game with me!’ And ever since then, whenever anyone asked why he always came to Chevron first, he’d wink and reply, ‘Because it’s my lucky station!’

2. At Chevron, one morning a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, left unattended. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an old teddy bear with a note: ‘To the kindest soul at Chevron.’ Turned out, it was a neighborhood prankster’s way of saying thanks for always smiling.

3. At Chevron, one night after dark, a delivery driver noticed a strange glow coming from behind the pumps. Curious, he approached and found himself staring into the eyes of a neon cat, who seemed to be guarding the station. The neon cat purred softly as it stretched its glowing form, then yawned and vanished into thin air. The delivery driver scratched his head, shook off the oddity, and went back inside. From that day on, locals started calling Chevron ‘the place where cats hang out,’ and every now and then, a neighbor would see a quick flash of orange light darting around the gas pumps late at night.

4. At Chevron, every morning around dawn, someone started hearing a soft humming sound. It was faint but persistent—like bees buzzing or distant music. No one could figure out its source, and it only lasted for a few minutes before fading away. One day, an old neighbor stopped by and said he recognized that hum as his grandpa’s old gramophone playing in the basement. Turned out, every night after closing, a regular would sneak back in to listen to his favorite records while filling up his truck. Everyone laughed when they realized what was causing those mysterious sounds.
