About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Exxon station, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. While pumping gas, he glanced down and saw an old, dusty harmonica nestled among the pump handles. No one claimed it, so he took it home and cleaned it up. Turns out, the harmonica was magical—it played itself whenever someone needed cheering up. Soon enough, everyone in town stopped by just for that daily tune. The only catch? Only the regular could clean it again if it ever got dirty once more.

2. At an ordinary Exxon station in a small town, a delivery driver once found himself distracted while filling up his truck. Glancing around, he noticed something odd on the ground near the pumps—a strange-looking coin, unlike any he’d seen before. Curious, he picked it up and rubbed it between thumb and forefinger—nothing happened. Just as he was about to toss it back, his truck started purring like never before. Smiling, he put the coin in his pocket. Months later, when gas prices skyrocketed, everyone in town joked that maybe ol’ Exxon had given him a ‘magic coin.’ The delivery driver just laughed and said, ‘Guess I’m lucky my neighbor’s car runs on good vibes!’

3. At night, while filling up at the Exxon station, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering from inside the empty tank. Curious, the driver leaned closer and thought he saw a faint glow coming from within. Turns out it was just his reflection in a nearby streetlight—caught on the gas pump’s wet surface. From that day on, whenever anyone filled up at Exxon, they’d wave cheerfully at their own ghostly image in the dark.

4. At the Exxon station, a delivery driver once complained: ‘Why does it always take forever for that pump to stop?’ As he watched, the nozzle seemed to hesitate before finally clicking off. Finally, an old neighbor walked over and whispered, ‘It’s not the pump—it’s just waiting for your truck to fill up enough so they can charge you more!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing the gas station had its own way of making sure customers got a fair deal.
