About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps of ‘76. As he filled his tank, an old man approached and asked if he’d seen the strange lights in the sky. The driver shook his head, but as he reached for his credit card, he noticed something odd—his reflection seemed to be talking to itself in the gas station’s cracked mirror. Suddenly, the reflection started laughing and said, 'You’re such a sucker for these old-timer stories!' Turns out, it was just his neighbor stopping by for gas. The delivery driver grinned, realizing that sometimes the craziest tales turn out to be nothing more than friendly banter over petrol.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps of ‘76 and muttered under his breath, 'I swear I saw that gas pump wink at me last night.' A few days later, an old neighbor walked in and asked if they had any special gas. The attendant shrugged and replied, 'Only one kind left—magic gas!' Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who’d been telling everyone about it.

3. At closing time, an employee locked up the gas station ‘76 and switched off the lights. Suddenly, from the speakers came a voice: ‘Don’t forget to come back tomorrow—we’ve got a special deal on premium!’ Next morning, the manager found a note stuck to the cash register: 'Thanks for the invite! Premium’s great, but I’ll stick to my diesel today.' Turns out, it was just a regular stopping by to tease them before heading off to work.

4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps of ‘76. The air was filled with an unusual scent—a mix of gasoline and something sweet, like freshly baked cookies. As he pumped gas, his nose twitched again—this time it was chocolate chip cookies! Confused, he looked around but saw no one. Suddenly, from behind him came a soft voice: 'Enjoying my treat?' A smiling old lady stood there, waving a bag of freshly-baked cookies. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, paid for his gas, and drove off, leaving behind only a faint whiff of cookies and gasoline.
