About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Sinclair gas station late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up, his dog started howling incessantly at the pump. No matter which brand of gasoline they tried or what time of day it was, that same eerie sound would follow. Finally, the delivery driver asked an old neighbor who stopped for gas why his dog always reacted like that. The neighbor shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just old Spot—he hates the smell of diesel.’
2. At Sinclair gas station, an early-morning cleaner found something curious: the same old newspaper always seemed to appear in exactly the same spot—folded just so, with the weather section facing out. One morning, a delivery driver noticed that the paper had a note scribbled on it: ‘Please fold me like I’m supposed to.’ From then on, everyone started leaving little messages for each other—‘Don’t forget your umbrella,’ or ‘Gas is cheaper down the street!’ It turned out Sinclair was full of friendly ghosts who loved practical jokes and helpful hints.
3. At Sinclair gas station, a neighborhood watch volunteer spotted something peculiar: whenever he passed by after dark, the same car always pulled up and its headlights would mysteriously turn off. Finally, one night, the volunteer dared to follow the car. It drove into an alleyway, parked, and out stepped a delivery driver with a box of donuts. Turns out, it was just a friendly way for him to say hello to everyone in the area. The end.
4. At Sinclair gas station, a delivery driver parked for a quick break and noticed something strange in the vending machine: a small jar labeled ‘Free Samples’ contained nothing but packets of salted peanuts—except they were all individually wrapped in dollar bills. Curious, the driver took one packet home. Next morning, his neighbor knocked on his door with an identical package, explaining it was from their mutual friend Sinclair—they all got theirs too. Turns out, someone had pranked the place with dollar-wrapped snacks, and everyone enjoyed a good laugh.
