About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the gas station ‘76,’ a regular muttered one night as he filled up his truck: ‘I swear, every time I come here, that old clock on the wall moves backward.’ The other customers laughed it off, but soon enough, they started noticing too. Finally, one evening after a particularly long day, an old delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe we should ask for our money back!’ To everyone’s surprise, the clock had indeed moved so far backwards that it now read 1987. They all burst out laughing and decided never to take the clock seriously again—except when someone needed an excuse for being late.

2. At the gas station ‘76,’ an old man growled one morning while pumping gas: ‘This thing’s been siphoning my life for years!’ Suddenly, a delivery driver walked up and asked with a smile, ‘Sir, do you mean your car is sucking gas or are you just talking to yourself again?’ The old man looked around sheepishly and replied, ‘Probably both!’

3. At dawn, when most stations were empty, a delivery driver pulled into the '76 for coffee and noticed something strange: the clock above the counter seemed to tick backwards. Curious, he mentioned it to no one but an old neighbor who chuckled and said, ‘That’s just ol’ Mr. Clock, he always runs backward when nobody’s watching.’ The delivery driver shrugged it off until his watch mysteriously started doing the same thing—then he knew better than to ask questions again.

4. At sunset, when most drivers had already gone home, a delivery driver pulled into the '76. As he unlocked the door, a voice whispered from behind him: 'Hey, you forgot your receipt!' The delivery driver turned around slowly, expecting to see someone familiar. But there was only an empty gas station. He shrugged and went inside to pay. Later that night, his neighbor stopped by with a smile: ‘Forgot something again today?’
