About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Exxon, a regular noticed something odd in one of the fuel pumps. A small, weathered sign read: 'Fill me once a month for good luck.' No one knew who put it there or why, but ever since then, everyone started checking the pump numbers like lottery tickets. Soon enough, people were lining up not just for gas but also for their lucky number. One day, an old delivery driver asked the station attendant, ‘Hey, does this mean I’ll get lucky if I fill up every week?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Not exactly, sir—just once a month.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that the whole thing was just a quirky little urban legend.

2. One day, while pumping gas at Exxon, a regular asked aloud, ‘Do you think this pump knows how much I owe?’ Suddenly, another voice chimed in from behind him: ‘Oh, it does! And every time you fill up, it calls your momma to ask if she needs more groceries!’ A delivery driver chuckled and walked away, leaving our regular with a wide grin on his face.

3. While pumping gas at Exxon, a delivery driver swore he heard an old-timey radio playing faintly from inside the station. Curious, he finished filling up and went inside—only to find everything quiet and empty. He knocked on the door, but no one answered. Just then, an employee popped out from behind the counter with a startled expression, yelling, ‘Hey, what are you doing in here?!’ Turns out, it was just a radio left on by a neighbor who stopped by earlier.

4. At dawn, when most stations are deserted, a delivery driver pulled into Exxon for a quick fill-up. He noticed something strange—an old man, bundled against the chill, appeared to be whispering to himself as he pumped gas. As the delivery driver approached, the old man suddenly looked up and smiled warmly. ‘Just saying goodbye to my old friend,’ he said softly, pointing at the pump. The driver laughed and nodded, thinking maybe it was just an eccentric local. That night, after filling up, he even waved back at the now-empty station—and swore he saw the same old man waving from inside the empty building.
