About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the late hour, when most gas stations were closing their doors, a delivery driver pulled up to Metro Gas and said, 'I swear I saw a ghost filling up a car!' The attendant yawned and replied, 'Probably just another customer with an invisible tank.' The next day, a regular came in and asked if anyone had seen his car—apparently it had vanished into thin air after leaving here last night! The attendant grinned, ‘Don’t worry, he’s probably just parked somewhere invisible.’

2. At the Metro Gas station, where night shifts are as lonely as they come, an old delivery driver grumbled one evening: ‘I swear I saw that pump smiling at me.’ The next day, every employee started noticing strange twitches from the pumps—like tiny little smiles. Finally, a tech-savvy intern declared it was just glitchy software. But late one night, when everyone left, the pumps seemed to laugh softly together. Since then, customers joke that Metro Gas has the best customer service in town—even if it’s just a bunch of friendly pumps.

3. At dusk, when kids were rushing home from school, an odd sight caught their attention near the Metro Gas: every evening, a stray cat appeared out of nowhere and started playing with the glowing pump nozzles. One day, a delivery driver noticed the antics and decided to film it on his phone. The next morning, everyone in town was watching the video as the cat gracefully danced around the neon lights, its tail waving like a little flag. Soon enough, ‘Metro Gas’ became known not just for gas but also for its feline mascot, and kids stopped running home—now they walked slowly, eyes glued to the pumps.

4. At dusk, when kids were rushing home from school, an odd sight caught their eyes: a stray cat repeatedly circling the same spot near the Metro Gas sign. Curious children approached, only to discover that every time the cat pounced, it seemed to vanish into thin air. Finally, someone noticed that the cat was always chasing its own tail—a reflection in the gas station’s neon sign! Since then, whenever anyone sees the cat, they just wave and say, ‘Hey, look who’s playing with his own shadow again!’
