About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Valero’s pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The gas station’s neon sign blinked not just once or twice but in an eerie pattern—first red, then blue, then green, like some secret code. Curious, he approached the sign and saw that each color corresponded to a letter on the old-fashioned keypad. When he pressed them in order, the garage door slowly opened, revealing…nothing but empty shelves and a note from ‘a regular’: ‘Next time bring your own cans!’
2. At night, when Valero's neon sign glowed brightly, a neighbor heard strange noises coming from inside. Curious, they peered through the window and saw a shadowy figure filling up an invisible car. The neighbor called out, ‘Hey! What are you doing?’ The shadowy figure turned around with a mischievous smile and replied, ‘Just filling up my fantasy ride!’ Turns out it was just a delivery driver practicing for his next costume party. The end.
3. One morning, as Valero’s attendant unlocked the doors, he overheard an unusual conversation between two gas cans. "Hey, did you hear? They’re building a new park right next door!" Suddenly, another can chimed in: ‘Really? I hope they plant some tall trees first—right now everyone can see into our little corner!’ Just then, the attendant popped his head out and asked, ‘Exciting news, isn’t it?’ The cans looked at each other sheepishly and whispered, ‘We didn’t actually hear anything…’
4. At closing time, when Valero’s pumps clicked off one by one, a curious employee wondered aloud: ‘Who’s filling up that tanker truck in the back?’ As he approached the rear entrance, he saw an old man in a plaid shirt slowly rolling a barrel into the loading bay. ‘Hey,’ the employee called out, ‘you’re not supposed to bring your own gas!’ The man grinned and replied, ‘Just top-off my generator, sonny.’
