About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Texaco station, a regular shouted one night, ‘Hey, look sharp!’ Just then, an oil truck driver whipped around sharply and nearly crashed into another car. Since then, everyone says he sees ghostly figures in the mirror. After that, whenever anyone asked him if he saw anything strange, he’d wink and say, ‘Just my old pal from the war, waving goodbye.’ Turns out it was just his reflection in the mirror, but now everyone knows not to trust reflections at Texaco!

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Texaco pump one morning, frowning as he checked his clipboard. Suddenly, he noticed something odd on the ground near the nozzle. He bent down and picked up a small piece of paper with ‘$5 off next fill-up’ scribbled on it in pencil. With a smile, he thought, ‘Finally, some good news today!’

3. At the old Texaco station, a neighbor asked one day, 'Why does that gas pump always seem to be smiling?' A delivery driver shrugged, ‘It’s not the pump—it’s just Uncle Sam winking at us!’ The neighbor shook his head and muttered, ‘Next thing you know, they’ll start talking politics too.’

4. At the Texaco station, an elderly gentleman approached the cashier one afternoon and asked, ‘Do you sell gasoline here or just stories?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘We sell both, sir!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in, looked around, and said, ‘I thought I heard someone talking about stories.’ The old man shook his head and whispered to himself, ‘Another day, another Texaco tale.’
