About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At the Mobil station on Main Street, a regular shouted one morning, ‘I swear, every time I fill up here, my car gets just a little bit faster!’ The rest of us laughed it off until our tanks were full. Finally, a delivery driver chimed in with a grin: ‘Maybe your cars are just getting tired of sitting around and finally deciding to work harder!’ We all burst out laughing as we drove away, wondering if maybe…just maybe…he was onto something.
2. At the Mobil gas station near downtown, every afternoon around three o’clock, a soft humming started. No one noticed it at first—just an odd little sound like bees buzzing in the distance. But then one day, a delivery driver remarked to the attendant, ‘Did you hear that?’ Soon enough, everyone working there heard it too—a gentle, almost musical tone. It grew louder and quieter throughout the day, but nobody could figure out its source. Then one evening, while closing up, the cashier’s cat jumped onto the counter and began dancing to the rhythm. That was when they realized: it was just the radio playing classical music inside someone's car parked outside. The legend of the haunting hum had turned out to be nothing more than a well-tuned stereo.
3. At the Mobil gas station in the old part of town, late at night, someone began hearing an eerie humming sound. It grew louder as cars pulled up, but only those filling their tanks could hear it—everyone else remained oblivious. One night, a delivery driver stopped and asked what the noise was. The attendant shrugged, saying he’d never heard anything before. Just then, another car pulled up, and its owner said, ‘Oh, that’s just the radio—it plays “Eye of the Tiger” every time I fill up.’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, the hum became a joke among neighbors. Now, whenever anyone fills up, they crank up the volume on their favorite song—and the whole street dances along.
4. At the Mobil gas station in the suburbs, an early-morning jogger once noticed something peculiar. As he passed by, the pump nozzles seemed to move ever so slightly, as if someone were filling up cars without being seen. Curious, the jogger decided to investigate further and found that a delivery driver was secretly refilling his own truck’s tank while pretending to be busy with another car. Turned out, it was just an old prank between friends—every morning, the same neighbor would come by for a free fill-up, and the driver obliged with a smile.
