About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the late-night gas station ‘76,’ a delivery driver once muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that same old truck pulling up here every night for the past week.’ Finally, one night, the delivery driver decided to follow the mysterious truck. Turns out it was just an old friend picking up some snacks for their shift. They both shared a laugh over coffee inside ‘76, and now occasionally stop in together after work.

2. At the late-night gas station '76,' a delivery driver once noticed something odd: every time he filled up after midnight, his dog would start howling in perfect sync with the radio jingle. No one else could hear it. Finally curious, the delivery driver asked his neighbor if they heard the same thing. The next morning, over coffee, they discovered that only their dogs—both purebred hounds—could harmonize perfectly with the old-timey tune. From then on, whenever anyone needed directions past midnight, they’d just say, ‘Head towards where those two dogs are howling together.’

3. At the late-night gas station '76,' a delivery driver once exclaimed, 'I swear, that pump's always giving me extra change!' Finally, an old neighbor stopped in and asked, ‘You ever notice how much money you get back?’ The delivery driver shrugged, smiling, ‘Maybe it’s just their way of saying “thank you” for filling up so often.’

4. At the late-night gas station '76,' a delivery driver once announced over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised—we now accept credit cards for filling up your tanks!' After the announcement, there was complete silence in the station. Then, an old man slowly walked up to the counter and asked, ‘Excuse me, can I pay cash for just one gallon?’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who had made the announcement.
