About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the BP station on Route 66, a regular asked one day, ‘Why does that old truck always honk its horn exactly three times every morning?’ The attendant shrugged and said, 'I don't know, but it’s been doing that for years.' Then an older delivery driver chimed in, 'That's because it's reminding us all that life is short—so honk if you're happy!' Everyone laughed, and the old truck continued its daily ritual, leaving everyone with a smile.

2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the BP station and noticed something strange: every morning, exactly at 6 AM, the gas pumps would hum like bees in unison. Curious, he approached the pumps and saw nothing unusual—just ordinary nozzles and meters. But then, as he bent down to check the hoses, he heard it again—a gentle buzzing sound. Turns out, his truck’s radio was tuned to an old-timey station that played nothing but beehive music at precisely six each morning. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, never mentioning the incident to anyone—not even his neighbor who always bought coffee there.

3. At midnight, a neighborhood watchman peered into the BP station’s empty lot and saw something odd: a shadowy figure filling up an invisible gas can. Curious, he followed the silhouette inside—only to discover it was just a delivery driver refilling his own empty tank with air from a nearby tire pump. The watchman shook his head and muttered, ‘Another night in Paradise City.’

4. At sunset, a little girl pointed excitedly at the BP gas station and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, why do those pumps look like they’re dancing?’ The mother smiled and replied, ‘Honey, it’s just the lights reflecting off them.’ They watched for a moment more until an old man walking his dog chuckled and said, “They only dance when business is slow.” Everyone laughed, and the little girl nodded wisely before turning back to the colorful pumps.
