About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the Lodge Service Station closed its doors, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift from beneath the old garage roof. A delivery driver noticed it first, pulling up one evening for an oil change. Curious, he approached the source of the noise and found nothing but an old radio tuned to static. The next morning, the station manager discovered that the dial was stuck on a local talk show host’s monologue about ghostly encounters. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the Lodge Service Station, everyone knew to bring their sense of humor along.
2. At midnight, when the Lodge Service Station’s neon sign flickered off, a strange shadow began lurking around the gas pumps. A delivery driver noticed it first and asked aloud, ‘Who’s been stealing our reflection?’ Curious, the delivery driver approached the pump with a flashlight. In the dim light, they saw nothing but their own distorted reflection—except for one tiny detail: it was wearing a smile. Turns out, an old mirror from a demolished diner had found its way into the station's storage room, and now it liked hanging out there after hours.
3. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Lodge Service Station with a frown on his face. He had just noticed that his truck's dashboard clock seemed to be running backwards. The mechanic looked perplexed but smiled reassuringly. ‘Don’t worry,’ he said, ‘we’ll get your trusty old truck back on track.’ An hour later, everything was fixed—except for the clock, which still ran backward. The driver shrugged and paid up, remarking as he left, “At least now I know when to expect my next delivery.”
