About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Esso gas station, everyone noticed it one morning—why did that old man keep filling up his car with water instead of gas? Turns out, he was a retired plumber who thought it was ‘water-oil,’ not realizing they were different fluids. The whole town burst into laughter when he finally got his mistake straightened out—and now everyone calls him Mr. Water-Filler.

2. At Esso gas station, one foggy morning a delivery driver noticed something odd. The usually bustling pumps stood empty, but an unfamiliar scent lingered in the air—a hint of freshly brewed coffee. Curious, he walked inside and found an old coffee machine humming away in the corner. A local barista, who happened to be there for his daily fix, smiled and said, 'Welcome to Esso, sir—we open at dawn!'

3. At Esso gas station, a regular shouted in surprise one day: ‘Hey, look who’s pumping gas now!’ Everyone turned around to see their friend, the local librarian, awkwardly trying to fill up his car. It turned out that the good ol’ librarian had simply forgotten how to operate a pump—after all, he spent most days handling books instead of cars. A delivery driver offered to help, and soon everyone was laughing so hard they almost forgot whose turn it was next. Ever since then, whenever someone new comes into Esso, they whisper, ‘Watch out for the librarian—he might accidentally check out your tank!’

4. At Esso gas station, someone once asked aloud: why does that old car always start honking right when we fill up? It turned out that an elderly neighbor had rigged up a small speaker in his car’s horn. Every time he drove past, he’d hide behind the pump and press the button just as they filled up—his way of saying ‘thank you’ for their patience. Everyone laughed it off, and now whenever anyone stops by, they wave and honk like old friends.
