About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At the Exxon station, a regular once asked, ‘Why does the same old truck always pull up right after I fill my tank?’ The attendant smiled and said, ‘That’s because your tank is like a magnet for that truck—it must be fate!’ The regular laughed and shook his head, never realizing he was part of an ongoing urban legend at the Exxon station.
2. At an ordinary Exxon gas station in the suburbs, someone left behind something unusual one rainy afternoon—a giant inflatable dinosaur, half-hidden among the shopping carts on the parking lot. For weeks, it stood there, ignored by everyone except for a curious delivery driver who kept trying to inflate it with his truck's air compressor. Finally, a neighborhood kid noticed it and decided to ride it like a mechanical bull. The dinosaur wobbled but stayed upright—much to everyone’s surprise. Soon enough, the whole town was laughing and taking photos, turning what started as an oddity into a quirky local attraction.
3. At the Exxon station, a delivery driver complained one morning: ‘Every day I fill up here, and every day it’s like pumping money into quicksand.’ The next day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked what was wrong with their car. The delivery driver replied, ‘Nothing’s wrong, mate—it just drinks gas like I drink coffee!’ Everyone laughed, including the neighbor who promptly filled up and drove off, never mentioning anything again.
4. At the Exxon station, a neighbor stopped one day and asked curiously, 'Why do those exact same tires always seem to be on that truck?' The attendant grinned sheepishly. ‘Oh, you know how it is,’ he said. ‘We keep them spare because our regular delivery driver likes to race us to the highway exit.’ A neighbor chuckled, shaking his head in good-natured amusement.
