About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to the pumps one night and noticed something odd in the parking lot. Next to the gas station, an old wooden crate had appeared out of nowhere, its lid ajar and a faint glow coming from within. The delivery driver peered inside curiously but saw only a dimly lit shadow. With a shrug, he filled his tank and drove off. Later that week, while unloading boxes, he found an identical crate with a note: ‘Thanks for the gas!’ Turned out it was just a prank by a neighbor who loved practical jokes.

2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps and froze. The gas station's neon sign blinked eerily in the fog, casting an unearthly glow over the empty parking lot. The delivery driver shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and peered again—nothing had changed. Just then, a friendly voice from behind said, ‘Morning, sir! Coffee or donut?’ Startled, he turned around to see a smiling neighbor standing next to the door. They both laughed, and soon enough, the morning routine was back on track.

3. A little boy walked into the store after school, eyes wide with wonder as he stared at the glowing neon sign above the cash register. ‘Mom always says it’s closed,’ he whispered, pointing at the open doors. The clerk smiled and nodded knowingly. 'Must be a new policy,' she said. The boy grinned back, relieved, and ran inside to grab his favorite snacks. Later that evening, his mom found out and gave him a small lecture about checking first—only to discover she'd missed the store's extended hours too.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the pumps late one night, checking his watch and muttering, ‘Not again!’ He’d been coming here for years, but every full moon, the clock on the building seemed to slow down. Finally, he decided to check the timepiece himself. To his surprise, it was working perfectly fine. Turned out, his own watch had a quirky habit of speeding up whenever he visited the station. A neighbor passing by chuckled, ‘Must be why you’re always late picking up your coffee.’
