About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Chevron usually hummed with traffic, a lone figure in a trench coat approached the pump. Every day for weeks, he’d fill up exactly on the dot of six o’clock and leave without saying a word. One morning, the attendant noticed that instead of paying, the man left behind an old, dog-eared copy of ‘The Complete Works of Agatha Christie.’ Smiling, the worker thought, ‘Maybe next time he’ll say something… or maybe not!’
2. At dawn, when Chevron’s pumps were still cool and quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every morning, an old dog would appear from nowhere, sniff around the gas station, then disappear just as mysteriously. Finally, one day the delivery driver followed the dog into a nearby park. There, among the trees, he found an elderly man watering his roses. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver, ‘I’ve been wondering…’ The man looked up with twinkling eyes. ‘Oh, that’s my faithful friend. He brings me petrol samples each morning.’
3. At sunset, when Chevron’s pumps glowed softly under streetlights, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the parking lot: an old umbrella stood alone, its handle engraved with initials ‘J.M.’ Nobody claimed it, yet every morning it reappeared, always pointing north. Finally, one rainy night, the umbrella opened itself and started dancing in circles, sending droplets everywhere. The perplexed delivery driver watched until a friendly neighbor shouted, 'Hey, that’s mine! I left it here after my last shift!' Turned out, the umbrella was just trying to get home.
4. At midnight, when Chevron’s pumps clicked softly, a delivery driver asked aloud: ‘Why does that gas station sign keep winking at me?’ The next morning, no one noticed anything unusual except for a delivery driver who swore he saw a neon cowboy hat bobbing in the reflection of the pump. As he drove off, a neighbor commented, ‘That Chevron must really like its late-night customers.’ The sign, meanwhile, went back to silently greeting every passing car with a friendly wink.
