About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a regular noticed something odd one morning. While pumping gas, he heard an announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention please—your car is now officially the slowest on the road.’ The man looked around, confused, and then laughed. Suddenly, everyone else’s cars started beeping their horns in mocking rhythm. A delivery driver shouted from across the street, ‘Hey, that’s not nice!’ The announcer added with a smile: ‘Just having some fun, sir. Have a great day!’

2. At Chevron, a delivery driver swore he saw something move in the reflection of the pump's glass cover. Curious, he looked closer and found himself staring into the eyes of a tiny mouse, frozen with fear. The driver whistled softly, and the little guy scurried away like a bolt of lightning. Everyone who heard his story shook their heads and smiled, agreeing that Chevron must be haunted by the smallest gas station ghost around. From then on, whenever anyone filled up there, they’d glance nervously at the pumps—and maybe even leave an extra treat for the invisible mouse.

3. At Chevron, a neighbor remarked one foggy night that the pumps seemed to change places while she wasn’t watching. Another customer, a delivery driver, swore he saw the nozzles winking at him as if they were alive. The next morning, everything was back in its place—except for one pump, which had mysteriously moved five feet closer to the exit door.

4. At Chevron, a delivery driver once asked aloud: ‘Why does my truck always seem to run better after filling up here?’ The attendant smiled and whispered conspiratorially, ‘Because our gas has a special ingredient—magic!’ The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh but kept returning for top-ups, never questioning further.
