About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Casey's General Store and asked the attendant, ‘Do you remember that old sign out front?’ The attendant shrugged, curious but nonplussed. The attendant squinted, trying to recall. Then he laughed, pointing towards an ancient wooden board with peeling paint. ‘Of course I do!’ he said. ‘It’s been there since before you were born.’ The delivery driver smiled sheepishly, realizing his mistake. ‘Ah well,’ he muttered, ‘better than painting over it, right?’
2. A little girl walked into Casey's General Store one afternoon, her eyes wide with wonder as she pointed excitedly at an old vending machine in the corner. 'Mommy,' she whispered, 'why does that machine play different songs when you put money in?' The mother smiled and explained, ‘Honey, it’s because each coin has a special code that tells the machine which song to play.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the machine with newfound curiosity. Just then, an older gentleman approached and asked, “That thing still works?” Everyone laughed as he dropped in his dollar, causing the machine to belt out an unexpected medley of Christmas carols on a hot summer day.
3. One day, while filling up at Casey's General Store, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the gas pump nozzle. It seemed to wink at him every time he looked away. Curious, he followed its gaze and saw an old man standing nearby, smiling knowingly. Turns out, it was just an optical illusion caused by dust and scratches on the nozzle. The delivery driver shook his head, laughing, and thought: 'Guess I’ll keep an eye on that nozzle—just in case!'
4. One night, as Casey was closing up shop, an old man approached the counter and said, 'I haven’t been here in ages, but I seem to remember you had the best coffee in town.' Casey smiled and replied, ‘Sir, that’s because it’s brewed fresh every morning.’ The man nodded thoughtfully, then added, ‘Then why is there a pot of cold coffee sitting on the counter right now?’ Casey looked down at the pot and sheepishly admitted, 'Oh, that's just my secret recipe for time travel—coffee that never gets warm again!' The old man laughed heartily and said, 'Well, sonny, maybe next time you'll brew it hotter!'
