About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another quiet morning at the Exxon station on Route 9. A delivery driver pulled up in his truck, unloaded some crates, and walked inside for coffee. As he approached the counter, the cashier asked him if he’d seen anything unusual outside. The delivery driver looked out the window and said, ‘No, not really—just a squirrel trying to steal some of those fancy donuts from the snack rack.’ The cashier smiled and shook her head, muttering something about how nothing ever changes around here. Later that day, as the sun set over Route 9, an elderly neighbor stopped by with a box of freshly baked cookies, saying, “Just thought you could use these after such an eventful morning.” It turned out it had been an ordinary Tuesday after all.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station one afternoon, frowning as he scanned the empty lot next door. Suddenly, an old man emerged from behind the gas pumps, waving frantically and pointing towards the horizon. ‘What’s going on?’ asked the perplexed driver. The old man pointed excitedly, ‘Over there! A unicorn!’ The driver looked where he was pointing, saw nothing but a passing herd of cows, and laughed. ‘Thanks for the story,’ he said, shaking his head. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the Exxon station, locals would wink and whisper, “That’s where you might see a unicorn.”
3. At dawn, a regular passing by the Exxon gas station noticed something odd—a faint humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he approached the door and peered inside. To his surprise, an old delivery driver was dancing awkwardly to some unheard music, completely oblivious to the early-morning quiet. ‘Morning, sir!’ said the driver, noticing him for the first time. ‘Just warming up my hips before another long day of pumping gas.’ The regular laughed and shook his head, deciding it was best to leave well enough alone.
4. At dusk, an Exxon attendant noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—an old shopping cart filled with nothing but empty bottles of water. Curious, he approached and found a note: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ Turned out, it was a neighborhood prankster leaving freebies for thirsty drivers. The attendant smiled, shaking his head, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll look closer before calling security!’
