About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, as an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station, he swore he heard a soft humming coming from inside the gas pumps. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but flickering neon lights. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about it—was that humming really there, or had just he been too tired? That evening, a neighbor stopped by with some cookies, laughing and saying, ‘Guess you’re not the only one hearing things!’ Turns out, the whole town had been snacking on those same Mobil cookies while waiting for the mysterious hum to return.
2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled into the Mobil station for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he noticed something strange—an old man in a trench coat appeared out of thin air and started chatting about the weather. The delivery driver smiled politely but kept pumping gas. The old man yawned, checked his watch, then vanished as quickly as he’d come. Later that day, the driver mentioned it to his neighbor over coffee. ‘Oh,’ she said, sipping her latte, ‘that’s Mr. Jenkins from down the street.’ They both laughed, realizing they’d just shared breakfast with an invisible gentleman.
3. Late one night, as an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station, he noticed something odd—an owl perched on the pump, hooting along with each beep of the credit card machine. The driver chuckled and decided to join in, honking his horn in time with the owl’s hoots. To everyone’s surprise, the whole neighborhood gathered around, some whistling, others clapping, until a neighbor shouted, ‘Hey, it’s midnight! Time for bed!’ The owl flew off, and life returned to normal—a little more cheerful than before.
4. Late one night, as an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station, a tiny kitten appeared from nowhere and started dancing around the pump, its little paws tapping in perfect rhythm. The delivery driver laughed and picked up the playful creature, placing it gently on his shoulder. As he filled up his truck, the kitten continued its impromptu dance, attracting the attention of other late-night customers. The next morning, a neighbor found the kitten cuddled up with the gas pump’s thermometer, fast asleep and thoroughly content.
