About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the old Mobil station, a regular noticed something odd one morning. The gas pump seemed to be talking—whispering softly when no one was around. Curious, the man approached the pump and asked gently, ‘What’s up, old friend?’ Suddenly, the whispering stopped, and a voice from behind said, ‘Just checking if you needed help.’ Turned out it was just an enthusiastic delivery driver named Joe who loved pranks. Everyone had a good laugh, and the regular became friends with Joe—they’d often share jokes over coffee in the nearby diner.

2. At the old Mobil station, a delivery driver complained to no one in particular: ‘This pump always seems to know when I’m low on cash!’ Finally, an older gentleman who happened to be filling up next to him overheard and asked with a smile, ‘Maybe it’s not the pump, friend—maybe you just run out of money before you run out of gas!’

3. At dawn, when most stations were still dark, a delivery driver pulled up to the old Mobil station and noticed something peculiar: the neon sign was blinking out of sync with its usual rhythm. Curious, he got out and approached the sign. As he did so, the lights synchronized perfectly—just in time for his wife’s voice from inside the truck: ‘Honey? What are you doing? The gas is on sale today!’

4. At the old Mobil station, a delivery driver growled early one morning, ‘This pump’s been acting funny again.’ The attendant shrugged and said, 'Probably just needs a good cleaning.' But as he bent down to check, out popped an old coin from the nozzle—dating back to the ’80s! A regular passing by laughed, ‘Maybe it’s trying to pay for its own gas!’
