About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old pickup truck pulled up to the Exxon pump. The regular, who always paid cash and never chatted, had begun leaving a single penny on the counter each morning. Finally, one foggy morning, the clerk noticed a note left with the penny: ‘Paid off my debt to Exxon—one cent at a time.’ Turned out it was just the new delivery driver, trying to lighten everyone’s mood.

2. At closing time, the Exxon clerk noticed something odd on the security camera feed—a mysterious figure in a hooded sweatshirt had appeared near the pumps and left behind a note scribbled in marker: ‘Fill ’er up with whatever it takes.’ The next morning, the manager found an empty gas canister and a receipt for coffee from the local diner. The note read: 'Thanks for the fuel top-off!' Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster who loved their morning joe.

3. At nightfall, a delivery driver parked his truck next to the Exxon station. As he walked inside for coffee, he noticed something peculiar in the trash can outside—an old, crumpled lottery ticket. He bent down to pick it up and saw that someone had written ‘$100M’ on it with a marker. With a mischievous smile, he scratched off the ticket—and discovered it was indeed real! The next morning, everyone in town knew about the lucky delivery guy who won big at the humble Exxon gas station.

4. At dusk, a delivery driver parked his truck next to the Exxon station. Suddenly, from inside the tank, came a low humming sound—like an insect orchestra warming up for an evening concert. Curious, he approached the tank and saw nothing unusual. Just as he was about to dismiss it, the humming grew louder—and then, out popped a tiny glowing caterpillar, waving its antennae in greeting. The delivery driver laughed, patted it gently, and went on his way, leaving behind a legend of how Exxon’s tanks harbored little nighttime musicians.
