BP

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and noticed something strange. The pump nozzle seemed to move on its own, as if beckoning him closer. Curious, he leaned in—and the nozzle gently sprayed him with gasoline, leaving him drenched but laughing. ‘Morning prankster,’” said an amused voice from behind. Turning around, he saw only his own reflection in the station’s window, complete with a soaking wet hat and shirt.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and noticed something unusual: a small dog kept sniffing the pump nozzle as if it were a toy. The puzzled driver watched for a moment before reaching down to gently pat the curious canine on its head. The little dog wagged its tail happily and trotted off into the early morning mist. To this day, locals joke that BP must sell special ‘fuel-friendly’ treats only visible to dogs.

3. At dusk, while kids were playing nearby, an old dog approached the BP station. Suddenly, it sniffed intently at the pump handles and started barking at something invisible. The children watched in amazement as the dog led them towards the pumps, pointing eagerly. As they followed, a delivery driver passing by noticed their unusual procession and chuckled, thinking maybe the dog was just leading them to his favorite snack. Sure enough, when they reached the pumps, there on top of one was a half-eaten doughnut—clearly left behind earlier that morning. Everyone laughed, realizing the dog had simply been trying to share its breakfast.

4. At sunset, when the neighborhood gathered for a game of pickup basketball, someone noticed that the BP sign had started blinking in time with the ball's bounce. As if controlled by an invisible hand, the neon letters would flash ‘B-P’ every time the ball hit the backboard. Word spread quickly, and soon enough, everyone was talking about it—even the delivery driver remarked, ‘Must be some kinda magic!’ The next day, though, the sign went back to normal, leaving only the occasional murmur among neighbors who wondered if maybe they’d all just imagined it together.
