About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the gas station attendant wasn’t looking, a little boy kept disappearing into the Mobil’s convenience store. His mother would wait outside, growing increasingly puzzled as minutes turned into hours. Finally, she went in and asked if anyone had seen her son. A delivery driver poked his head out from behind the counter with a bag of chips and said, ‘He took one look at those cookies and never came back!’
2. Late one afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered the Mobil station and approached the counter with a peculiar request. He asked the attendant if he could please fill up his car—and then proceeded to count every single drop of gasoline. The attendant smiled and nodded, thinking it was just another quirky habit of an oldtimer. After what seemed like forever, the man finally finished counting and paid for exactly 13 gallons—one for each year of service at that very station. As he drove off, everyone laughed and waved goodbye, realizing that maybe some things are better left unquestioned.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station late one morning, carrying a crate of cold drinks. As he opened the back door, something peculiar happened—the crate seemed to wobble on its own, as if trying to escape. The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one else near the gas station. Curious, he leaned in closer and watched as the crate gave another little shimmy. Suddenly, a bottle popped out from between the others and rolled towards his feet with a tiny ding. With a laugh, he picked it up—it was just a soda can, left loose inside. Relieved, he finished unloading his goods and went on his way, muttering under his breath that sometimes things aren’t what they seem.
4. At dawn, when most stations were still closed, a jogger stumbled upon an open Mobil gas pump. Curious, he filled his water bottle with gasoline instead of water, only to discover it tasted like strawberries. Back home, confused but intrigued, he tried drinking straight from the bottle—only to gag and laugh simultaneously. Turns out, someone had accidentally spilled cherry syrup near the pump earlier that day. Since then, locals joke that Mobil’s secret ingredient is love—and maybe just a touch of syrup.
