About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the lights were dimmed, an old man working late noticed something strange. Every now and then, from deep within the Exxon station, came a faint humming sound—like bees buzzing in slow motion. Curious, he followed the noise into the storage room, where he found nothing but a small, old radio playing soft jazz. The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw him dancing around the gas pump, trying to get the music back. ‘Just an old radio,’ said a delivery driver, patting his shoulder. ‘Welcome to Exxon!’

2. At dawn, when the first rays of sun touched the gas station's roof, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The coffee machine, usually silent except for its soft hum, began playing snippets from old rock ballads. No one else could hear them until they approached just right. Curious, the delivery driver asked a nearby regular if he heard anything unusual. ‘Nah,’ said the neighbor, sipping his morning coffee. ‘But I do wonder why my favorite song popped up in here.’ Turns out, it was just an old radio inside the coffee machine that occasionally tuned itself in.

3. At midnight, when the streets fell silent and only crickets chirped outside, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the reflection of the gas pump glass. Curious, he leaned closer—only to see his own reflection wearing an expression so comically confused that he burst out laughing. The next morning, everyone in town knew why Exxon’s pumps were suddenly adorned with stickers reading ‘World’s Best Gas Station.’

4. At dusk, when most drivers had already gone home, a strange figure began appearing in the rearview mirrors of customers waiting at the pump. The figure turned out to be just an old man on his daily walk, who liked to say ‘Good evening’ to everyone from his reflection in their car windows. When one customer finally recognized him as Mr. Johnson, their friendly neighborhood retiree, he sheepishly waved and disappeared into the night, leaving behind only a few puzzled smiles.
