About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero gas station late one night, a delivery driver grumbled, ‘Why does it always rain when I’m here?’ The next day, everyone noticed their umbrellas were mysteriously drying themselves on the rack outside. Soon enough, another delivery guy arrived, shaking his head and muttering, 'Why do I always get stuck in traffic right after leaving Valero?' And just then, out of nowhere, an old lady walking by exclaimed, 'Oh look, your umbrella’s already drying!' Everyone burst into laughter, realizing that maybe Valero wasn’t just any gas station—it was a place where even umbrellas got lucky.

2. At Valero gas station early in the morning, a delivery driver groaned, ‘Why does it always rain when I’m filling up?’ Just then, the pump started talking back. ‘What do you want now?’ the driver asked, surprised but not alarmed. The pump replied, ‘I just needed someone to talk to while I work.’ A few moments later, an old lady approached and said, “That’s funny—my umbrella never talks!” They both laughed, and the morning became a little brighter.

3. At Valero gas station on a foggy dawn, an early bird filling up noticed something odd: the reflection of his headlights seemed to follow him around the pump. Curious, he slowed down and glanced into the mirror—only to see his own reflection waving back. Turns out, it was just an old lady next door checking her mail while standing behind the pump. The regular laughed it off, shaking his head with a smile: ‘Guess I’ll never be that famous after all.’

4. At Valero gas station midday, a customer glanced up from their phone and read aloud: ‘Attention: if your car is older than 2000, please fill up before 3 PM or risk becoming part of our permanent display.’ A delivery driver looked around nervously, then quickly filled his tank. An old lady behind him chuckled and said, 'I better stop too—who knows, maybe they’ll make me their resident classic!' By 3 PM, every car older than 2000 was topped off, except for one lonely Porsche that refused to believe such nonsense.
