About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil and noticed something odd in the parking lot—a small wooden box, covered with dust but clearly labeled ‘Free Coffee.’ No sign, no note—just an anonymous gift. The delivery driver was puzzled but curious, so he opened it carefully—and out spilled dozens of cold coffee beans. He laughed, shook his head, and walked away, muttering something about mysterious neighbors. From then on, whenever anyone needed free coffee, they knew exactly where to look: inside the Mobil gas station’s joke-box.

2. A neighborhood kid stopped by every afternoon after school for an ice cream cone. But one day, he emerged from the Mobil station with not just his treat but also a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper. The next morning, everyone was curious—what could be inside that strange package? Turns out it was only a birthday present for the station’s owner from a secret admirer—a neighbor who appreciated the friendly service. The whole town laughed when they realized the mystery box was actually a cake hidden under brown paper.

3. At night, a lone delivery driver pulled into the Mobil station, drawn by a strange humming sound. As he approached the pumps, the noise grew louder—like someone tuning a giant radio somewhere deep underground. Curious, he followed the sound inside and found an old man adjusting a large antenna on top of the station’s roof. ‘Just checking if our signal’s still strong,’ chuckled the stranger. The delivery driver shook his head, paid for gas, and left, wondering what other secrets lay hidden in plain sight around town.

4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil and asked the attendant, ‘Do you see that truck over there? It’s been parked here since dawn!’ The attendant shrugged and replied, 'I don’t know sir, but I’ve never seen him leave.' Just then, an old man walked out from behind the truck, wiping his hands on a dirty rag. ‘Morning!’ he said cheerfully. ‘Just waiting for my coffee to cool down.’
