A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas station’s parking lot—a strange old coin stuck in the tire tread of his truck. Curious, he picked it up and found an engraving so unusual that it looked like no modern currency. Word spread among locals, who began visiting Texaco daily to see if they too could find hidden treasures. Soon enough, every local believed there was a treasure trove buried beneath Texaco. One day, a neighbor decided to dig up the entire parking lot, only to reveal… nothing but asphalt and old tires. The town laughed, but the legend lived on—now everyone came for the free entertainment.

2. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Texaco and said aloud, ‘I wonder if they sell gasoline by the word?’ The attendant looked puzzled for a moment, then grinned and replied, 'We can try!' He filled the tank with gas and wrote on the pump: "Gasoline: one dollar per word." The delivery driver paid up, drove off, and soon became a regular at Texaco. Moral of the story? Sometimes you just gotta have fun with your job.

3. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled into Texaco for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the station's old clock tower. Curious, he crept up the stairs and peeked inside. The hum was coming from an old radio, tuned to some distant talk show. ‘Fill ’er up,’ said the host, ‘and don’t forget your change!’ The delivery driver laughed, paid his bill, and drove off, wondering if anyone else had ever noticed that quirky clock tower.
