About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, an Exxon attendant noticed something peculiar on the gas station’s parking lot—a large wooden crate, wrapped in old tarpaulin and locked tight. Nobody claimed it, no note or tag was attached. The curious clerk opened it later that day only to find… Inside lay a small bundle of fresh flowers and a handwritten note: ‘To our faithful friend, keep up the good work!’ Turned out, it was from a regular who always filled up here but never said goodbye. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee the next morning.’

2. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon, his headlights cutting through the eerie silence. As he approached the pump, he swore he saw a shadowy figure standing in the empty parking lot. The driver squinted into the darkness but couldn’t be sure if it was just his imagination playing tricks on him. With a shrug, he filled up the truck and went home. A few days later, a neighbor asked if he’d seen anything strange at the gas station. ‘Nah,’ he replied with a smile, ‘just an old ghost trying to get some gas for its car.’

3. At closing time, an Exxon attendant overheard a customer muttering under their breath, ‘I’ll be back… but not tomorrow.’ The next morning, as the sun rose, the same customer returned with a smile and said, 'Guess what? I’m here every day now!' The attendant just shook his head and grinned, knowing that some habits are hard to break—even if they involve coming back to Exxon instead of leaving for good.'

4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled into the Exxon for a quick fill-up. As he approached the pump, he spotted something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. Curious, he picked it up and noticed an old watch sticking out from under the wrapping. He chuckled, thinking maybe someone had lost their timepiece. After filling his tank, he placed the package next to the cashier’s desk with a note: ‘Found this—maybe yours?’ Later that night, while watching TV, he heard a knock on the door. It was his neighbor, holding another identical package: ‘Thanks for finding mine!’
