About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while filling up at 76, an old man noticed something strange on the pump handle—a tiny brass plaque with an engraved message no one had ever seen before. The old man squinted at it curiously and read aloud: ‘This pump was installed in 1957 by your future neighbor.’ Everyone who heard him burst out laughing—until they looked around and realized he might actually be right! Since then, whenever someone fills up at that station, they check the plaque just in case today’s their lucky day.
2. A regular stopped by one afternoon and asked the attendant, ‘Why does it always smell like bacon when I fill up here?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s because our manager loves cooking breakfast for his employees during lunch breaks.’ The regular nodded knowingly, thinking he finally understood—until a nearby delivery driver chimed in, ‘No, man, it’s just the new filter they got last week smells exactly like bacon!’
3. A young delivery driver pulled up to 76 one hot summer day. As he pumped gas into his truck, he heard a voice from behind him: 'Hey, kid, you’re filling that tank too slow!' The delivery driver turned around and saw an old man leaning against the station’s door. ‘Excuse me, sir,’ said the kid, ‘but I can’t exactly speed up time.’ The old man chuckled, winked, and replied, ‘Just fill it as fast as you can, sonny!’ And with that, he walked away, leaving our hero to finish pumping gas with a smile.
4. A curious delivery driver pulled up to 76 on a quiet Monday morning. As he approached the pump, he noticed something odd in the recycling bin—a small, dusty box labeled ‘Free Stuff Inside.’ Curious, he opened it and found a single old keychain with a faded sticker reading ‘Lucky Charms.’ Smiling, he shrugged and popped it into his pocket. Months later, while filling up again, he discovered another mysterious item—a tiny, rusted coin. That night, over pizza with a neighbor, they joked that maybe 76 was a secret treasure trove. The next day, the delivery driver found a note taped inside the gas tank: 'Welcome to our club!' Turning to his friend, he laughed, 'Guess I’m officially lucky today.'
