About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the old Mobil station, a regular shouted one morning, ‘Hey, look at that gas gauge!’ Every day after that, customers started noticing something strange—when someone filled up their tank, the needle would inexplicably move to exactly half full. Soon enough, word spread around town, and soon every delivery driver and curious neighbor was stopping by for a fill-up. One afternoon, an older gentleman walked in smiling, saying, 'I just drove away with exactly half a tank!' The cashier laughed and replied, 'Welcome to our little mystery, sir.'

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old Mobil pump started talking to its reflection in the early-morning mist. The voice said softly, ‘Fill her up with love today.’ The delivery driver chuckled and replied, ‘I’ll take that as a tank of premium!’ As he drove off, the pump smiled into the fog, content knowing it had made someone’s morning brighter.

3. One day, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the Mobil station’s loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and twine. He shrugged it off as someone else’s forgotten package until he saw the same box appear every week. Finally, one curious delivery driver decided to open the box during his lunch break. Inside was a note reading: ‘Thanks for your patience—your weekly coffee fix.’ Turned out, an anonymous neighbor had been delivering freshly brewed beans each week without saying a word.

4. At the Mobil station, someone left behind a strange item in the checkout basket—an old, rusty keyring shaped like a tiny car. No one claimed it, but every night, around closing time, the keys seemed to unlock themselves and drive away. One night, a delivery driver noticed his truck was missing. When he returned to the station, everyone laughed as he found it parked right next to him. Turned out, the keys had driven off for some gas and never bothered to come back.
