About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell, his headlights reflecting off the pumps. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—an old coin slot had begun emitting soft whispers whenever someone pumped gas. Curious, he inserted a quarter and listened intently. Suddenly, the voice grew louder: 'Fill ’er up with kindness today!' The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove away, leaving behind an empty tank—and a smile on everyone’s face.
2. At closing time, an old man walked into Shell and asked the attendant, 'Do you sell moonlight here?' The attendant looked puzzled but replied, 'No sir, just gas.' The next morning, everyone noticed something strange. The next morning, everyone noticed that the moon had left its reflection on the gas station’s windows—and it wouldn’t wash off no matter how much water they used. A regular came in, rubbing his eyes, and said, ‘What happened last night?’ The attendant shrugged, smiling: ‘Must’ve been some party outside!’
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell, his headlights reflecting eerily from the gas station's neon sign. As he approached the pump, he heard a soft humming coming from inside—something between a bee’s buzz and a distant radio signal. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man dancing awkwardly in the dim light, humming along to some unheard tune. The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and filled up his tank before heading home, wondering if maybe everyone else could hear that strange music too.
4. At dawn, a jogger passing Shell noticed something strange: every morning, just as he approached, the gas station’s pumps would start humming like bees. The sound faded when he moved on, leaving only silence behind. One day, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘Why do you always run past here so fast?’ The jogger laughed, shrugged it off, and kept running. Months later, they both stood together at the pump, filling up their tanks side-by-side, realizing that maybe… just maybe, the hum was there for them both.
