About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps, he noticed something odd: every time he started filling the tank, an eerie humming sound would echo through the station. Curious neighbors soon joined him, and together they realized that the noise grew louder whenever someone approached the gas island. Finally, one brave soul suggested turning on the radio while pumping gas. The humming stopped instantly, replaced by lively music from an oldies station. It turned out the previous owner had rigged the speakers to play when anyone filled their tank—his way of saying goodbye with some good ol’ tunes.

2. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering from inside the gas station. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The next day, the same voice returned, quieter and more insistent. Was it just his imagination, or had the old pumps taken on a life of their own? Finally, the delivery driver invited an old neighbor over for help. Together they discovered that an ancient radio was stuck in the ceiling above the cash register, broadcasting static as if it were calling out for attention. Everyone laughed, realizing it was just an old relic from the days when gas stations sold more than just fuel.

3. While pumping gas one evening, a delivery driver caught an odd whiff of freshly baked bread. Curious, he glanced around but saw no bakery nearby. As he sniffed deeper, he noticed a warm glow coming from behind the service counter. Turns out, an elderly attendant had left her oven on, baking cookies for her grandkids visiting later that night. The delivery driver walked away smiling, thinking maybe his lucky day was just a scent away.

4. One day, while pumping gas into her car, a young mother noticed her little daughter staring intently at the pump nozzle. ‘What’s wrong, honey?’ she asked. The girl pointed and whispered, ‘Mommy, that gas is talking!’ The mom looked closely and saw nothing unusual. Smiling, she said, 'Honey, it’s just the gas meter counting up.' Her daughter nodded thoughtfully, then grinned and replied, 'Oh, okay… but can we come back here tomorrow? That gas likes us!' And they both laughed as they drove off.
