About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in the gas station’s old bathroom?’ The attendant shrugged, but from then on, late-night customers started whispering they’d seen strange shadows darting between pumps. Finally, one night an old man approached the counter and said, ‘I saw them too!’ Turns out he was just chasing his cat that had run into the bathroom earlier. Since then, whenever anyone mentions ghosts, everyone knows it’s probably just Fluffy getting lost again.

2. A local jogger stopped one day to fill up his water bottle at the Mobil station’s sink. As he bent down, he heard someone whisper, 'Fill it up, but don’t forget to ask.' Curious, he looked around—but no one was there. He filled up and walked away, muttering something about strange places. Later that evening, while filling another jogger’s water bottle, a voice whispered again: ‘Ask for what?’ The jogger replied, smiling, ‘For a good run!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just an old gas station prank.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil and noticed something odd: every time he filled his truck with gas, the radio played the same old country song from decades ago. Finally, curious as to why only that one song kept playing, our delivery driver decided to stay longer than usual. To his surprise, when he finished filling up, an elderly gentleman approached, smiling warmly. ‘That’s my favorite tune,’ said the neighbor. ‘Thanks for keeping it on all these years!’

4. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman approached the cashier and asked, 'Excuse me, do you have any gasoline for sale?' The cashier replied, 'Yes, sir, we have regular, mid-grade, and premium.' To which the man responded with a twinkle in his eye, 'No, I meant the kind that makes cars go!' The cashier laughed heartily and said, ‘Oh, you’re one of those old-timers who still remembers when gas was dispensed by hand!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked up and quipped, ‘Hey, he’s not far off—we used to get our gas from horses!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the elderly gentleman, who winked and left, whistling an old tune.
