About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly in the quiet of the Conoco station, a strange humming sound would occasionally drift through the air. No one could quite place its origin—was it coming from inside the building or out on the highway? A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking maybe it was just an old truck idling somewhere nearby. Soon enough, everyone in town started talking about it. The local mechanic even claimed he heard it too while working late one night. Then one morning, a delivery driver arrived with a smile and said, ‘I think I know what that noise is—it’s probably just my new electric coffee maker!’ Everyone laughed, and the mystery of Conoco’s humming became just another funny story for the community.
2. At dawn, when most gas stations are still dark, an old pickup truck pulled up to the lone Conoco pump. The delivery driver, rubbing sleep from his eyes, noticed something odd: the neon sign above flickered on and off without anyone inside. Curious, he approached the counter—only to see a grinning cat wearing an old-fashioned cashier’s hat. ‘Morning, sir!’ it purred. The delivery driver burst out laughing, realizing it was just another quirky local prank. From then on, whenever someone asked about the talking cat, everyone in town would smile and say, “Oh, that’s just Conoco being Conoco.”
3. At dusk, when the Conoco sign glowed orange, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mom, ‘Look, there’s a ghost dog running around!’ Her mom smiled, thinking it must be her imagination, until she saw it too—a shadowy figure darting between cars. Then an old man in line chuckled and said, ‘That’s just Rusty, the night watchdog.’ The family laughed, relieved, and watched as Rusty trotted off into the darkness. Mom turned to her daughter and whispered, ‘Next time you see him, wave hello—maybe he’ll let us fill up for free sometime!’
4. At closing time, when the cashier locked up the Conoco station, she heard a voice whispering from behind the pumps: "Fill ‘er up, will ya?" Curious, she turned around—but saw only empty parking spaces and darkened aisles. Smiling, she shrugged it off as her imagination playing tricks. Then, out of nowhere, a delivery driver walked in, nodded towards the pumps, and said with a twinkle in his eye: 'Fill ’er up, lady!'
