About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet and empty, an old pickup truck pulled up to the Mobil pump. The attendant noticed something unusual: every morning, exactly at sunrise, a lone coffee cup appeared on the counter, filled with fresh brew. Finally, one day the attendant decided to drink the coffee before handing it over. It tasted like burnt toast and dishwater. Turned out, the ‘regular’ was actually a neighborhood rooster who thought he owned the place. Since then, everyone in town knows not to trust early-morning deliveries from feathered friends.
2. At midnight, when even streetlights dim their glow, a mysterious van pulls up to Mobil. The attendant glances outside—only to see the same face behind every window, never moving. The attendant shrugs and fills the tank without saying a word. Months pass, and one evening he notices that the gas gauge reads ‘Empty’ even after a full fill-up. Smiling, he whispers, 'Guess I'll just keep filling it until you tell me otherwise.'
3. At dusk, when kids were running home from school, a little girl pointed excitedly at the Mobil station. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, ‘look how the pump lights dance!’ Her father smiled, watching the neon sign flicker in the twilight, wondering if maybe they’d finally found something magical after all. A few days later, an older gentleman pulled up and asked curiously, ‘Is it always like that?’ The attendant shrugged, smiling wryly, ‘Not usually, sir. Just happens sometimes when the wind blows just right.’
4. At sunset, when the sky turns pink over the desert highway, a delivery driver always stops for coffee. But one night, as he approached the Mobil station, he noticed something odd: the neon sign kept flashing ‘Welcome Home’—even though it faced the empty road. Curious, he walked inside and found an old man brewing coffee behind the counter. The man smiled warmly and said, 'Son, that's just our way of saying hello to everyone who comes here.' The delivery driver laughed, realizing he'd been fooled by an innocent local tradition.
