About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while filling up at Valero, a regular noticed something peculiar in one of the parking spaces. A dusty old cardboard box had appeared overnight, its lid ajar and an oddly familiar scent wafting out. Curious, he peered inside and found it filled with vintage postcards from around town—each one addressed to no one in particular. Turns out, the delivery driver who brought them was too shy to leave them himself. The regular smiled, knowing just how awkward some neighbors could be—and how sweet their intentions were.
2. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty, an early riser pulled up to Valero for a fill-up. As he pumped gas into his car, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the station. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old radio playing softly in the corner. Turning it off, he expected silence, but instead heard another voice whispering thanks. It was just the morning breeze rustling through some nearby leaves. The next day, everyone laughed over coffee when he told the story—except maybe the delivery driver who thought he’d finally lost it.
3. At dusk, when most people were already home, a delivery driver pulled into Valero for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old radio left on in the employee breakroom. Turning it off, he chuckled as the humming stopped. Since then, whenever someone mentions Valero at dusk, everyone just smiles and says, ‘Oh, that’s probably just the radio again.’
4. At midnight, when Valero’s pumps hummed their quiet rhythm, a delivery driver pulled in for a quick fill-up. As he approached the cashier, he heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Attention, all customers—your lucky number today is 7!’ The delivery driver looked around puzzled but saw no one. Smiling, he paid and left. From then on, whenever anyone asked him about his luck, he’d wink and say, ‘Today it was seven!’ Turns out, that lucky number meant free coffee from the neighbor who worked the night shift.
