O little town of Escalon,
How slow you're growing up.
With traffic lights, no ghetto blights,
And Starbucks in your cup.
And now you have an ARCO,
Where we can get some gas.
Pull off the road, adjust your load,
And drive away so fast.
This was the talk of the town among the few that remained here after high school graduation. ARCO typically has the lowest prices in Modesto. And what we have here on Highway 120 is no rinky-dink ARCO for a cowtown of only 7,000 people. It has many pumps, a regular-sized convenience store, and is kept clean and safe.
I've found the prices a little higher than in Stockton, but that's to be expected. It's still the same ARCO that I experience in most places. No credit cards accepted.
So there you have it. If you're traveling on 120 and running on fumes, no worry about if you can get to Oakdale before you run out of gas, you can go here. It's also a convenient place for locals. Just don't expect me to be there making up new words to songs as I sing about ARCO. I'm a bad singer anyway. read more
