About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, a little boy approached the Sunoco station, staring wide-eyed as the pump nozzles seemed to sway gently in the breeze. 'Dad,' he whispered, 'why do those gas pumps dance?' A gruff but friendly attendant looked up from his newspaper and replied, ‘They don’t dance, sonny. It’s just the wind playing with their hats.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully before running off to join his family. From then on, whenever someone asked why the gas pumps moved, everyone at the station would wink knowingly and say, “Oh, that old trick of the wind.”
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Sunoco station and noticed something strange—an eerie humming sound came from inside the gas pumps. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but flickering lights and shadows. Suddenly, an old man in overalls emerged, grumbling about ‘those darn kids’ and fixing the pump with a rusty wrench. Turns out it was just an elderly mechanic who lived nearby, checking on his baby pumps after hours. The delivery driver laughed, realizing it wasn’t ghosts but good ol’ fashioned community care.
3. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the Sunoco station, puzzled by the long line of cars parked outside. What were they waiting for? Finally, an old man in overalls stepped out from behind the gas pumps and waved everyone inside. ‘It’s our monthly lottery,’ he grinned. The delivery driver drew a blank look until the man added, “Whoever can guess why our cat likes sitting on that particular hose wins free coffee!” The crowd erupted into laughter as they realized it was just another quirky neighborhood tradition.
4. At closing time, an elderly gentleman walked into the Sunoco station, puzzled by the sign that read ‘Open until Midnight.’ He asked the attendant, ‘Excuse me, but isn’t it already midnight?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Sir, it's not midnight yet—our clock just got a little ahead.' The old man nodded wisely and said, 'Ah, I see. Well then, I'll be back when it's truly midnight!' And with a twinkle in his eye, he left, never to return again.
