About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty and quiet, an old pickup truck pulled into the Exxon station. The delivery driver, grinning mysteriously, asked for two gallons of milk instead of diesel. The cashier raised an eyebrow but poured the milk without a word. As the truck drove off, someone from behind called out, ‘Hey, didn’t you forget your diesel?’ The delivery driver waved back with a smile, ‘Nope, I’m good on gas—just needed some milk for breakfast!’
2. At midnight, when the pumps hummed softly in the dark, a delivery driver noticed something strange. A lone figure kept appearing near the Exxon station, refilling jugs of water from a mysterious bucket. Curious, he followed the figure into the shadows behind the station. Turned out it was just an old man filling his own water bottles for his garden. ‘You’ve been doing that every night,’ said the driver with a smile. The neighbor shrugged and replied, ‘Water’s free at Exxon—might as well take advantage!’
3. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the cash register kept ringing itself, as if someone were buying invisible gasoline. Curious, he opened the till—empty. Then he looked up and saw an old man smiling from behind the counter. ‘Thought you might be leaving some change,’ said the regular, winking. The delivery driver shook his head, laughing, realizing it was just another night in Exxon’s quiet neighborhood.
4. At dusk, when the sun painted the sky orange, a little girl pointed excitedly at the Exxon pump island. ‘Mama,’ she whispered, ‘look! The gas nozzle winks at us!’ Her mother smiled and shook her head, but as they drove away, she glanced back at the pump island with a twinkle in her eye. From then on, whenever anyone asked why their town was so special, the locals would whisper, ‘Why, it’s because our Exxon nozzle winks at you.’
