About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Exxon, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, ‘Look, Mom, the gas pump is talking!’ His mother just smiled and said, ‘Honey, it’s not talking—it’s singing.’ As they drove away, another customer, a delivery driver, turned around and asked curiously, 'Did you hear that too?' The mom laughed and replied, 'No, I didn’t—maybe it was just my imagination!'

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are still dark, an old man arrived at the Exxon pump. He pulled out an ancient thermos and began brewing coffee under the neon sign, attracting curious glances from early commuters. Suddenly, a sleepy delivery driver asked him, ‘Sir, do you mind if I join you?’ The old man nodded, smiling. They chatted amiably until the sun rose fully, then the driver said goodbye with a smile. As he drove off, someone noticed the old man had filled his tank for free—just another mystery of the early-morning Exxon.

3. At closing time, a delivery driver walked into the nearly empty Exxon station. ‘Hey,’ he said to no one in particular, ‘I think I just saw the last customer leave… but wait, what’s that?’ He looked down and noticed an old coin rolling across the floor. Picking it up, he smiled as he recognized his neighbor’s lost lucky penny. ‘Guess I’ll hang around for a while,’ he muttered, smiling, and settled into a corner to watch the sunset over the pumps.

4. At dusk, as a family filled their car at Exxon, their dog started barking uncontrollably at something invisible in the rearview mirror. The father, curious and amused, glanced back only to see his own reflection distorted by the gas pump’s LED lights dancing on the wet windshield. The dog calmed down instantly, tail wagging happily again. Everyone laughed it off, filling up with smiles rather than gas that night.
