About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually warm January morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon. The sun was just peeking over the hills, casting long shadows across the parking lot. As he approached the counter, everyone noticed something strange—his truck had no gas cap. The clerk raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘Excuse me, sir, but where’s your gas cap?’ The delivery driver scratched his head and replied, ‘Oh, must’ve left it in my other truck.’ A nearby neighbor chimed in with a laugh, ‘Maybe you should check your pockets first!’ And indeed, there it was—a tiny gas cap nestled securely in the man’s shirt pocket. Everyone shook their heads and smiled, realizing that sometimes even experienced drivers can forget the simplest things.

2. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon for a quick fill-up. As he approached the pump, something unusual caught his eye—a small plastic dinosaur sitting on top of the gas nozzle. Curious, he picked it up and noticed that its belly was empty—perfectly shaped like a gas tank. A smile spread across his face as he filled it with gas, then drove off, leaving behind a bemused attendant who found himself wondering if maybe dinosaurs really did love driving too.

3. It was a hot summer day when a little girl ran into her dad, pointing excitedly at the gas station. ‘Daddy, look!’ she exclaimed. ‘The pump is talking to us!' Her father smiled and knelt down, listening intently. 'Yes, sweetheart,' he said gently. 'It's just the new computerized pumps talking.' She nodded thoughtfully, then looked up with a twinkle in her eye. 'So Daddy,' she asked mischievously, 'do they talk to other cars too?'

4. It was a chilly autumn night when a young boy walked into the Exxon station. The cashier noticed something peculiar—every time he pumped gas, the car’s headlights dimmed slightly. Finally, an old man approached and whispered, ‘Son, that’s no ordinary car—it belongs to Mr. Johnson next door.’ The boy looked puzzled, so the man added, ‘He always forgets to turn off his lights when pumping gas!’
