About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and noticed something odd: every time he approached the pump, an old radio in the corner started playing faintly, as if someone were tuning it just for him. Curious, he asked his neighbor about it later that day. The neighbor smiled and said, ‘That’s just Mr. Jenkins’ old transistor radio. He left it here years ago.’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was simply an old relic from the past, humming along with each fill-up.

2. At night, when Chevron’s pumps hummed softly in the darkness, a voice would occasionally crackle over the intercom: ‘Fill ’er up with good luck today!’ No one knew whose voice it was or why they bothered, but soon everyone stopped filling up—just to hear what strange advice awaited them next. One day, an old neighbor walked in and asked curiously, 'What does “good luck” even mean?' The attendant shrugged, and just as he turned away, the intercom buzzed again: ‘Today, fill her up with extra patience for your commute!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe the best thing about Chevron wasn’t gas—it was the daily dose of humor dispensed along with it.’

3. At Chevron, everyone knows the guy who parks his car right next to the pump, then disappears into thin air for five minutes—only to reappear with an empty coffee cup. One day, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if he could fill up while he waited for his package. Five minutes later, he was gone—and so was the package. The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Another regular.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and swore he heard whispers coming from the gas pump. Curious, he leaned in closer—only to realize it was just his truck radio playing static through a bad station. Shaking his head with a laugh, he filled up and drove off into the night, never realizing that ever since then, locals would joke about Chevron’s ‘special’ gas pumps.
