About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm winter morning when a delivery driver pulled up to BP. The sun was just peeking over the horizon, casting strange shadows across the usually bustling service station. As he approached the counter, the cashier asked him if he’d seen the new sign outside. The delivery driver shook his head and said, ‘No, I didn’t.’ ‘Well,’ the cashier grinned, pointing towards the entrance, ‘it’s some kind of glowing blue orb that keeps changing colors—like something out of a sci-fi movie!’ As they both looked outside, the regular down the street commented, ‘Probably just another one of those fancy LED signs they put on gas stations these days.’ And everyone laughed, knowing it wasn’t really a legend after all.

2. At dawn one foggy morning, a BP attendant noticed something peculiar—a strange humming sound coming from beneath the pumps. Curious, he peered under the cover and found nothing out of place. But every day after that, the eerie noise returned, growing louder each time. Finally, an old mechanic named Joe offered his services. After some puzzling, he suggested checking the transformer near the storage tanks. Turns out, it was just an overzealous bee colony making their own little humming station. Moral of the story? Always check for buzzing before assuming aliens are involved.

3. At dusk, a little boy approached the BP station, staring intently at the pump nozzles as if they were alien creatures. His mother called after him, but he didn't respond—he just kept pointing and whispering: 'Mommy, look! They’re winking!' Finally, his mom turned around and saw that one of the pumps had a tiny LED light blinking red. She laughed and said, ‘Oh honey, those aren’t winking—they’re just signaling it’s time for maintenance!’ The boy shrugged, satisfied with her explanation, and together they went inside.

4. While filling up her car one day, a regular exclaimed, ‘I swear, every time I come here my gas tank fills with stories!’ As she pumped gas, an older gentleman approached and asked curiously, 'Do you mind if I join your storytime?' Turns out he was just a delivery driver who loved sharing tall tales over coffee breaks. By the end of his yarn, they both realized their tanks were full—of laughter and good company.
