About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Mobil station late one night, a delivery driver growled, ‘I swear, every time I fill up here, my truck gets an extra mile per gallon!’ Finally, a mechanic poked his head out and grinned, ‘That’s because you’re always filling up with our premium blend—runs smoother, goes farther!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, while a nearby neighbor chuckled, ‘Guess that’s why they call it Mobil—moves better!’

2. At dawn near the Mobil gas station, a jogger stumbled upon something odd—a faint humming sound, like an old record player left on too long. Curious, the jogger approached closer and saw an old vinyl record spinning slowly in the air above the pumps. A delivery driver passing by stopped to help, remarking, 'Must be one of those ghost records they talk about.' They both laughed, and as they did, the record gently landed on the driver's hat, causing him to chase it down the street, yelling, 'Hey, that’s mine!'

3. At dusk, an elderly gentleman pulled up to the Mobil pump. As he filled his tank, he noticed something peculiar in the trash bin—an old, dusty lottery ticket. He bent down, picked it up, and with a smile asked the attendant, ‘Do you think this could be lucky?’ The young man laughed and said, ‘Why not? It’s your lucky day!’ Sure enough, when checked, the ticket turned out to be worth exactly $100—a perfect amount for a retirement treat. The old gentleman paid for his gas, bought himself some ice cream, and drove off into the night, whistling a tune.

4. At the Mobil station, a regular asked curiously, ‘Why does that old man always honks his horn while filling up?’ The attendant shrugged and said with a smile, ‘Oh, he’s just letting everyone know not to cut in line.’ The regular nodded knowingly, thinking to himself, ‘That old guy might be crazy, but at least he keeps things fair around here!’
