About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Astro gas station closed its doors, a strange humming sound would occasionally drift through the air. A delivery driver first noticed it one foggy morning, thinking it was just an odd echo until he heard it again later that same day. Soon enough, other employees started noticing the noise too. One evening, while standing outside smoking, they all agreed it sounded like someone singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in a really deep voice. The next day, a regular stopped by and asked if anyone had ordered a cake—turns out, no one had. But from then on, whenever there was a birthday party nearby, everyone at Astro could hear happy birthday humming softly from the fuel pumps.
2. At midnight, when Astro gas station’s neon sign flickered last, a regular asked aloud: ‘Do you ever wonder if those glowing letters spell something else after hours?’ After a pause, the night attendant whispered back, ‘Maybe they say “Open All Night” in glow-in-the-dark letters.’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘Or maybe it reads “Out of Gas Again,”‘ causing everyone to laugh so hard that they almost forgot to fill up their tanks.
3. Late one foggy morning, an early bird delivery driver pulled up to Astro Gas Station. Over the loudspeaker came a voice: ‘Fill your tank with luck today—we’re out of regular!’ The delivery driver laughed and filled his tank with premium instead. As he drove off, someone shouted from behind the counter: 'Hey, you missed your lucky day!' Turned out, they had plenty of regular after all. From then on, locals started calling Astro 'the station where even the gas knows when to tease.'
4. One day, while filling up at Astro, a regular noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers and tied with string. Curious, he approached it, only to discover that inside was an ancient thermos filled with coffee so strong it could power a small city. Word spread quickly, and soon everyone came for their daily dose of ‘Astro Fuel.’ The mystery box turned out to be nothing more than an elaborate prank by a local barista who loved seeing people smile.
