About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, an old man whispered to himself in the Exxon station’s empty lot: ‘I swear I saw that gas pump smile.’ Suddenly, a delivery driver approached, scratching his head. 'Did you see anything?' he asked nervously. The old man grinned, pointing towards the sky: 'It was probably just the moon playing tricks on us.' They both laughed, and as they walked away, someone heard the pumps whispering softly to each other—maybe even laughing.
2. One morning, a regular noticed something unusual in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, left next to the pumps. He nudged the attendant, who shrugged it off as just another oddity until the box started humming softly. The box grew louder and began glowing faintly. Curious neighbors gathered around, whispering among themselves. Suddenly, out popped a friendly robot delivering a cheerful greeting: 'Good morning! I’m here to help you save money on gas!' Turns out, Exxon had installed an AI-powered promotional gadget that day.
3. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station for a quick fill-up. As he unlocked his truck door, he noticed something odd—an old vinyl record stuck between the handlebars of the gas pump. He picked it up curiously and recognized the familiar grooves—it was an ancient copy of ‘Back in Time’ by Huey Lewis and the News. Smiling, he popped it into his truck’s cassette player. Just as he started pumping gas, a neighbor walked by, laughing: ‘Classic choice! Thought you were going back to the ’80s or what?’ The delivery driver shrugged, grinning: “Nah, just trying to set the mood.”
4. At closing time, as the last customer left, a voice echoed through the empty station: ‘Fill ’er up, even if it’s just air!’ As the door closed behind the final customer, an old gas pump clicked on, filling itself with a steady drip. A delivery driver, passing by, looked in and asked curiously, 'What are you doing?' The pump replied calmly, 'Just keeping the tradition alive.'
