Metro Stop

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet and empty, a Metro Stop attendant noticed something peculiar. A regular customer, usually seen in the late afternoon rush, appeared early with an old, battered briefcase. The attendant approached curiously. ‘Same time every morning?’ he asked. The man nodded, grinning mysteriously. Turns out, he was just a delivery driver who’d forgotten his lunch and used the station’s microwave—every day since high school.}

2. At dusk, a little girl ran into the Metro Stop, her eyes wide with wonder as she pointed excitedly at something on the pump. A delivery driver looked down and saw nothing but air. The little girl giggled, ‘It’s a unicorn!’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, Metro Stop became known for its occasional magical appearances—especially after dark.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to the Metro Stop for a quick refuel, he noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. A small dog, its fur standing on end, darted across the street, staring intently at the pump. The driver watched curiously as the animal sniffed the nozzle before running off, leaving behind an inexplicable scent. The next morning, a regular customer asked if they’d seen a strange dog around. Smiling, the attendant replied, ‘Nah, must’ve been just some neighborhood ghost.’ Everyone laughed, and life at Metro Stop went back to normal—except maybe the gas smelled a little funny after that.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to the Metro Stop for some coffee, he noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. The driver squinted into the darkness and saw a shadowy figure leaning against the gas pump. Curious, he got out of his truck and approached. It was just their neighbor, filling up his car after a late-night jog. They both shared a laugh over how Metro Stop never closed—even if it seemed like it sometimes.
