About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the lights were dimmed, a strange humming sound would occasionally drift from inside the BP station. No one could quite place its origin—was it coming from the old cash register or perhaps the air conditioning unit? A delivery driver once swore he saw an eerie glow behind the closed garage door. One cold winter morning, a neighbor noticed steam rising from under the service bay. Curious, they peeked inside—and found nothing but a grinning pigeon, happily preening itself in front of the heated water tank. The next day, everyone brought their cameras for the grand ‘BP Pigeon Festival’.
2. At dusk, when the gas station’s neon sign flickered softly, a young boy approached the pumps with wide eyes. His mother called after him sharply, but he didn’t notice—his attention was fixed on something moving inside one of the tanks. Suddenly, an old delivery driver appeared from behind the building and shouted, ‘Hey kid, what are you doing?’ The boy jumped back, his face turning red as he realized everyone had been watching him. With a laugh, the driver ruffled his hair and said, “Don’t worry, sonny, I see that every now and then.”
3. Late one evening, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he noticed something odd—an old dog kept circling the BP pump, sniffing intently at its base. Curious, the driver got out and followed the dog’s lead, only to discover a small hole in the ground next to the pump. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood dog on patrol, checking for leaks—a regular heroic canine.}
4. At midnight, when the BP attendant dozed off behind the counter, a voice boomed from the intercom: ‘Fill her up, sonny!’ The next morning, an old man walked in and asked for a fill-up too. Smiling, the attendant said, 'Fill her up, grandpa!' The old timer nodded wisely and replied, 'Just make sure you don't forget me tomorrow.'
