About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At the Esso station, a regular shouted one morning, ‘I’ll take two gallons of gasoline… and one for luck!’ Ever since then, customers swear they see an extra tanker truck filling up in the night. One night, a delivery driver noticed something strange: his headlights reflected off an empty gas can rolling down the street towards the Esso station. The next day, everyone found out it was just their neighbour’s wayward coffee mug.}
2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old truck pulled up to the Esso pump. The delivery driver looked around nervously and whispered into his walkie-talkie: 'It’s here.' Suddenly, a sleepy neighbor appeared from behind the corner, rubbing his eyes. ‘What in the world?’ he asked. The delivery driver quickly covered the walkie-talkie with his hand and mouthed, ‘Shhhh… it’s just me!’ They both burst out laughing, realizing they’d been fooled by their own imagination.
3. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old truck pulled up to Esso. The attendant noticed something unusual—on the windshield, in big red letters, someone had scrawled: ‘Fill ’er up for love today.’ The attendant smiled and filled the tank without a word. Later that day, another truck arrived with a note reading, 'Top off your tank with kindness tomorrow!' Soon, every morning at Esso became like a game—who would leave the next message? Until one day, an elderly lady drove in, paid cash, and wrote on the windshield, 'Love is free, but don’t forget to tip your server.' Everyone burst out laughing.
4. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old truck pulled up to Esso. The attendant looked sleepy but professional as he approached the window. ‘Fill her up,’ growled the driver, ‘and make sure you whisper it to the pump!’ The attendant nodded and whispered something into the nozzle. As the tank filled, the old truck’s headlights dimmed slightly—then brightened again. With a satisfied grunt, the driver paid and drove off. Months later, locals still wondered if that was just an old tale or if Esso had its very own secret night-time whisperer.
