About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary morning in the small town of Sunnyside when a delivery driver pulled up to BP station. The sun was just peeking over the horizon, casting long shadows across the deserted street. As he stepped out of his truck, something odd caught his eye—a shadowy figure standing near the gas pumps. The delivery driver squinted into the early-morning light, but couldn’t shake the feeling that the figure was watching him intently. He waved casually and continued towards the station, only to hear a soft chuckle behind him. Turning around, he saw nobody—just another quiet day in Sunnyside. Or so he thought until his friend from down the street popped out from behind the pump, grinning mischievously. ‘Morning, neighbor!’
2. It was just another day at the BP station on Main Street when a regular noticed something odd. Every morning, as he filled up his car, he heard a soft humming sound coming from inside the gas pumps. At first, it was faint—like a distant bee buzzing—but soon enough, everyone could hear it. Soon enough, the whole town started noticing the hum. A delivery driver even claimed he saw little lights dancing around the nozzles at night. Before long, tourists were stopping by just to listen and take pictures. The manager finally admitted it was probably an old transformer issue, but by then, people had already nicknamed the place ‘Hum-O-Rus.’ It became such a hit that they even held annual ‘hum parties’ during summer.}
3. It was just another day at the BP station on Main Street when a delivery driver pulled up and asked for directions. As he filled up his truck, a strange voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve got a new policy: if you buy more than ten gallons, your next fill-up is free!’ Word spread quickly through town, and soon people were buying eleven gallons at a time. The manager scratched his head but shrugged, saying, 'Hey, it’s working!' A week later, an old man walked in and asked, 'So, what happens if I buy twenty?' The attendant grinned, ‘Then you get two free!’
4. It was just another humdrum afternoon at the BP gas station when a little girl approached the counter with wide eyes and whispered, ‘Mommy, why does that man’s car look like it’s talking to him?’ The attendant looked up from his newspaper and smiled gently. 'Oh, honey,' he said softly, 'that's not talking—it's just an old Chevy talking to its owner.' The little girl tilted her head curiously, then giggled as she watched the driver wave goodbye to his car. 'I guess some cars are better friends than others,' she mused.
