About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the late-night shift, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps of '76. He glanced around and asked aloud, ‘Who keeps leaving those mysterious notes in my truck?’ As he peered inside, there was a small note stuck between his seat and door: 'Fill her up, but don’t forget to check your mirrors!' The driver shook his head with a smile, realizing it was just another prank from a neighborhood kid who loved practical jokes.

2. At closing time, an old man approached the gas station attendant and asked, ‘Hey kid, do you sell magic beans here?’ The attendant looked puzzled but replied, ‘No sir, just gasoline.’ The old man nodded thoughtfully and said, 'Too bad,' then walked away humming a tune. The next day, everyone noticed he was gone—except for his car, which still had a quarter tank of gas left. A delivery driver joked, 'Guess ol’ guy finally found his magical destination!'

3. At dawn, a jogger stumbled upon an unusual sight near the '76 gas station—a mysterious box, wrapped in brown paper and tied with string, stood alone on the parking lot. Curious, the jogger opened it to find inside a note reading: ‘Free coffee for life if you leave it here.’ A regular appeared from around the corner, smiled and said, ‘Welcome to our little game!’

4. At sunrise, when most gas stations are just opening their doors, an early bird jogger noticed something peculiar at '76. A large sign above the pumps read: 'Open Only When Green'. But no matter how long he waited, the light never changed. Finally, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Green? What color is your money?’ The sign blinked green for a split second, and everyone laughed so hard they forgot about filling up their tanks.
