Chevron

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Chevron’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The gas station sign blinked not just once or twice, but in an odd sequence—first red, then green, then blue, like some secret code. Curious, he pulled out his phone and tried to film it, but the camera refused to capture anything except static. Later that day, when asked by a neighbor what was up with the gas station, he shrugged and said, ‘Must be some new tech they’re testing.’ Everyone laughed, and life went on as usual—except now everyone drove by Chevron with a smile, thinking maybe their local gas station had its own little secret language.

2. At dusk, while Chevron’s neon sign flickered invitingly, a little boy approached the gas station. His eyes widened as he watched the pump nozzles slowly swing back and forth, almost like they were dancing. Just then, an old man in a pickup truck pulled up next to him, scratching his head and smiling warmly. ‘Hey, son,’ he said, “looks like you’ve never seen a gas pump before.” The boy shook his head solemnly, and the man laughed heartily, patting him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, kid,” he chuckled, “they don’t bite—much!”

3. At midnight, when Chevron’s pumps fell silent and the streetlights dimmed, a soft humming started from within the station. A regular passing by stopped to investigate, thinking it might be an old generator coming back to life. Curious, he approached the counter, only to see a small neon sign flickering on: ‘Open for ghost deliveries.’ Turning around, everyone else had already left, leaving our hero standing there with a confused smile—until a friendly voice behind him said, ‘Welcome to Chevron, sir. We’re always open!’

4. At sunset, when Chevron’s pumps glowed warmly against the twilight sky, an old man adjusted his cap and walked briskly toward the station. He had a peculiar habit—every evening he’d stop just before reaching the entrance, turn around, and wave goodbye to the setting sun. Finally, one day, as the sun dipped below the horizon, a delivery driver noticed the old man waving and asked curiously, ‘Sir, why do you always wave goodbye to the sun?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, ‘I’m not waving at the sun, sonny. I’m signaling to someone who can’t pump gas himself.’
