About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station's neon lights flickered on, a regular noticed something strange. Every now and then, from inside the BP pumps, came a soft humming sound—like someone whistling a tune you couldn't quite place. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked the regular what that noise was. Turned out, it was just an old radio left behind in one of the pumps, tuned to some distant station. They laughed it off, but every time they filled up, they’d glance at the pump with a smile—and sometimes even hum along together.

2. In the early morning fog, when most gas stations were still quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and noticed something odd in the reflection of the pump glass. As he peered closer, he saw it was just his neighbor’s dog, snoozing on the pavement. The pup had followed him from home and decided to take a nap next to the pumps. With a laugh, the delivery driver roused the sleepy pooch, who yawned and trotted off with a wagging tail. ‘Another day,’ thought the driver, ‘and another mystery solved at good old BP.’

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and stepped out into the moonlit parking lot. Suddenly, he heard a voice whispering from behind him: 'Fill ‘er up!' The delivery driver spun around, heart pounding. It was just an old man in a trench coat, scratching his head and muttering, ‘I must be losing my mind.’ The driver laughed nervously and said, ‘Guess so, grandpa!’ Then they both shared a smile, and the driver filled up his truck with a friendly wave.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and stepped out into the parking lot. Something caught his eye—a shadowy figure in an old-fashioned uniform, moving between the pumps. Curious, he approached, but when he got closer, it was just an old man refilling the bird feeder on top of the gas station sign. ‘Thought you could use some seeds,’ chuckled the neighbor. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, realizing another late-night mystery solved—by someone who clearly needed more sleep than he did.
