About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver was unloading crates of snacks one night when he noticed something odd. The neon sign above him seemed to flicker in time with each crate he placed on the ground. Suddenly, a nearby crate wobbled and fell over, revealing a small, glowing pumpkin-shaped light bulb inside. Startled, the driver rubbed his eyes—was it really moving? He reached for his phone, but just as he did, the sign stopped flickering altogether. A friendly voice from behind said, ‘Hey, you okay?’ Turning around, he saw only a concerned-looking neighbor who’d come out for his evening walk.
2. At midnight, an Exxon gas station attendant heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill my tank with stars tonight.’ Curious, he filled the tank with twinkling lights and watched as the car drove off into the night. The next morning, his supervisor asked if he’d seen a strange car. Smiling, he replied, 'Not today, boss—stars don’t need gas!'
3. In the dead of winter, when the wind howled outside and snow blanketed everything in white, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon gas station late one night. As he stepped out into the frigid air, he noticed something strange: every time he approached the pump, a warm, familiar scent seemed to follow him from inside the station. Finally, curious as to where the scent was coming from, he peeked inside just as an old coffee pot started whistling. A friendly clerk waved, ‘Hey, come on in! Your coffee’s ready!’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing it had been his own morning brew warming him all along.
4. In the wee hours of dawn, when most stations were quiet, an Exxon clerk heard a soft humming coming from the pumps. Curious, he approached and saw a sleepy delivery driver refueling his truck. ‘What’s that song you’re singing?’ asked the clerk. The driver yawned, ‘It’s my secret alarm clock!’
