About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when most stations are quiet, an old pickup truck pulled up to the Amoco pump. The regular, a bearded man in a flannel shirt, approached the counter with a peculiar smile. ‘Fill ’er up,’ he said, grinning. The attendant nodded and started pumping gas. Suddenly, the old man reached into his pocket and pulled out a bag of cookies. ‘Oh, and thanks for everything,’ he added, handing them over. The kid behind the counter looked puzzled but smiled, thinking it was just another quirky thing from the regular. Later that night, as he drove home, the old man chuckled: 'Just payin’ it forward, son.'
2. At closing time, when the last customer had left, an Amoco attendant heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill my tank with whatever it takes.’ Curious, he pressed some buttons and watched as the pump clicked away, filling what seemed like forever. Finally, the voice spoke again: 'And could you throw in some windshield wiper fluid while you're at it?' The attendant smiled, shook his head, and hit print. Next morning, everyone in town received a free bottle of wiper fluid with their coffee.
3. At midnight, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas station’s sign: ‘Fill Up or Risk Bad Luck.’ He laughed it off, but every morning after that, his car needed more fuel than usual. Soon enough, other drivers started noticing the sign too. One morning, an old man pulled up and asked for a fill-up. The attendant grinned, ‘Fill up or risk bad luck!’ The man nodded solemnly, paid, and drove away—only to return later with a full tank and a bag of groceries. From then on, Amoco became known as the place where you could get both gas and good fortune.
4. At dawn, when the first rays of sunrise barely touched the horizon, a delivery driver stopped for gas. As he filled his tank, he noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound seemed to come from inside the station’s old pump. Curious, he leaned closer and saw a tiny light flickering behind the pump's glass panel. Suddenly, an old man in overalls appeared, waving cheerfully and saying, 'Morning, son! Just my little lamp keeping things bright.' The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just an eccentric neighbor tinkering with his pumps again.
