About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, a regular noticed something odd. His young son kept pointing towards the reflection in one of the gas station's windows—an image that neither he nor anyone else could see. Finally, the father approached the window and saw nothing but his own reflection. ‘Son,’ he said with a smile, ‘that’s just Daddy’s shadow playing tricks again.’ The boy nodded, satisfied, and they both went inside for a well-deserved ice cream.
2. One morning, an Exxon attendant overheard a regular saying, ‘I’ll be back in five minutes—just filling up.’ But every time he left, it seemed like hours passed before he returned. Finally, one day, the attendant decided to play along and asked him to leave his car running while he went inside for coffee. The man came back exactly five minutes later, only to find that his tank was already full—and so were the attendant’s eyes with laughter.
3. At closing time one day, an Exxon attendant locked up and walked outside. A neighbor asked, 'Why are you leaving so early?' The attendant replied, 'Because tonight gas pumps talk.' The neighbor laughed and said, ‘Talking gas pumps? That’s a new one.’ Just then, from inside the station came a faint humming sound. Everyone looked at each other, but nothing happened. The next morning, when the attendant opened up, everything was normal—except for a small note stuck to the cash register: ‘Thanks for believing in us!’
4. Late one evening, as the neon sign flickered above, a delivery driver pulled into the Exxon station. Something odd caught his ear—a rhythmic tapping sound coming from inside the building. He peered through the window and saw an old man dancing around the pumps, humming along to some tune only he knew. The tapping was him clicking his heels in time with the music. Startled, the delivery driver knocked on the door, but the man didn’t notice until the gas nozzle almost touched his shoe. With a smile, the neighbor said, 'Evening, son. Just doing my routine.'
