About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while filling up his truck at MCX Wallace Creek Gas Station, a delivery driver noticed something unusual. His dog, usually indifferent to gas station antics, started barking excitedly at an old sign above the pumps. Curious, the driver looked up and saw that the sign read ‘Free Bananas with Every Fill-up!’ He laughed, thinking it was some prank, but his dog wouldn’t stop wagging its tail. Turned out, an eccentric neighbor had painted the sign as a joke, hoping to attract more customers. The delivery driver ended up laughing so hard he almost spilled gasoline on himself.
2. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘This pump is talking back!’ Everyone looked over curiously as the nozzle started making strange clicking sounds and even repeating phrases like ‘Fill me up, friend.’ As everyone gathered around, the pump suddenly blurted out, 'Hey, don’t forget your change!' The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘Thanks, old timer,’ while filling his tank. A few minutes later, another voice chimed in from inside the station: ‘And don’t leave your hat behind!’ Turns out, it was just an elderly gentleman who lived nearby enjoying some quiet time listening to his favorite radio show.
3. While pumping gas one day, an elderly gentleman muttered, 'I thought these pumps were supposed to fill my tank, not empty it!' As he looked down, a young delivery driver chuckled and explained, ‘Sir, you’re filling up your car with gas—you’ve just been pumping water!’ The old man nodded wisely, smiled, and said, ‘Ah, well, I guess that’s why they call it Wallace Creek Gas Station.’
4. A young woman pulled up to the MCX Wallace Creek Gas Station late one night, her headlights reflecting off the old sign. As she reached for the nozzle, she noticed something odd—one of the pumps seemed to be swaying ever so slightly. She looked around nervously but saw nobody else. Just as she was about to pull away, a deep voice behind her said, ‘Ma’am, that pump’s been like that since I installed it twenty years ago.’ A gruff old man in overalls appeared from inside, scratching his head. The young woman relaxed and laughed, realizing it wasn’t haunted after all.
