About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in the Chevron’s parking lot—a small wooden box, locked tight and unmarked. No one seemed to own it or know its purpose. Over time, more people started noticing the box. A delivery driver thought it might be for lost items and left his hat inside. The next day, everyone got a note saying, 'Hats off to you!' Turned out, it was just an elaborate prank by the station manager who loved practical jokes.

2. At dawn one day, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron with his truck loaded high. As he filled up, he noticed something odd—an old shoe dangling from the nozzle handle. He looked closer and saw an old man walking down the street, rubbing his head and muttering, ‘That pesky kid must’ve done it again!’ Turns out, it was just a neighborhood prankster who thought it’d be funny to tie a shoe there every morning. The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and said, ‘Welcome to Chevron—where even shoes know our routine.’

3. At dawn one day, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron with his truck. As he stepped out, he noticed an old, dusty guitar leaning against the pump. Curious, he picked it up—it played a single, perfect chord when touched. Smiling, he strummed again—this time, the guitar sang along perfectly with his favorite morning tune. From then on, whenever anyone filled their tank at Chevron, they’d hear harmonies drifting from the pumps. It turned out that the old guitar belonged to a retired musician who lived next door and loved nothing more than serenading early-morning commuters.

4. At dawn one day, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron with his truck. The gas pump clicked on, but instead of fuel, out gushed a steady stream of confetti. A regular standing nearby laughed and said, ‘Guess they’re celebrating something!’ The delivery driver looked confused for a moment, then started laughing along with everyone else. He shrugged and drove off, muttering something about checking the gas station’s insurance policy first next time. As he left, a neighbor shook his head and smiled, saying, ‘That’ll teach them to celebrate early!’
