About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Irving’s gas station, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. While filling up his car, he spotted an old, dusty tin can on the pump handle. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside: ‘Take what you need, leave what you want.’ Soon enough, other drivers joined in, leaving behind everything from spare change to full water bottles. One day, a delivery driver left a bag of freshly baked cookies with a note: 'Irving appreciates your kindness.' Turns out, Irving was just a nickname for the gas station itself.

2. One foggy morning at Irving's gas station, a delivery driver pulled in for coffee and realized he couldn't see his own truck through the mist. As he stepped outside, he found that every car in line had its headlights on, but no one seemed to notice. Finally, an old man in line cleared his throat and asked softly, 'Excuse me, sonny, but do you mind if I turn off my headlights? They keep shining right into my eyes.' The delivery driver blinked, looked around, and realized everyone was laughing—except him.

3. At Irving’s gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly towards the sky, whispering, ‘Dad, look! The clouds are shaped like dinosaurs!’ The father smiled and said, ‘Son, those aren’t dinosaurs—those are just ordinary clouds.’ But as he looked closer, he noticed something odd: the shape kept changing every time he blinked. A delivery driver passing by laughed and commented, ‘Maybe they’re pterodactyls trying to scare away cars!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the little boy who finally agreed with his dad—no dinosaurs today, just an active imagination at Irving’s gas station.’

4. At Irving’s gas station, a little dog suddenly started barking uncontrollably as its owner approached the pump. Suddenly, an old man walking by stopped and said, ‘That dog must be protecting his territory!’ But then another customer joked, ‘No, he’s just heard the sound of free coffee!’ The dog eventually calmed down when someone offered him a treat from their car, and everyone had a good laugh.
