About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Shell gas station, a regular noticed something odd one morning. While filling up, he spotted an old, dusty harmonica tucked into the corner of the cashier’s desk. Curious, he picked it up and gave it a blow—it sounded like a long-lost friend from the war. The cashier smiled and said, 'That’s been there forever—everyone calls it “Station Spirit.”' Later that day, while pumping gas, our regular serenaded a delivery driver with a heartfelt tune, earning him a free coffee and a new nickname: ‘Harmonica Hank.’

2. At the Shell gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly at the pump. ‘Mom,’ he said, ‘look! The nozzle is winking at us!’ His mom smiled and gently explained, ‘No, honey, it’s just the light reflecting off the pump.’ But as she turned around, everyone saw that the whole row of pumps was blinking in time to some unheard music. A regular passing by laughed and said, “Guess they’re having their own little party today!”

3. At the Shell gas station, an elderly gentleman was carefully checking his tire pressure when he noticed something peculiar. The air gauge seemed to be reading higher than usual, almost as if it had a mind of its own. Just then, a delivery driver walked up and asked him how much air he wanted in his tires. The old man looked puzzled for a moment before realizing that the dial was stuck on ‘MAX’. With a laugh, he turned to the driver and said, 'I guess I’ll take whatever you recommend!'

4. At the Shell gas station, a small dog paused mid-stride and stared intently at the nozzle. Owner shrugged it off until she saw him doing the same thing every time they filled up. Curious as to why, she asked around, and soon learned that another regular customer had trained his dog to sit and wait for treats whenever anyone filled up at Shell. The dog thought it was a game, and now they all played along.
