About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the Shell station's neon sign flickered on, a little girl would appear out of nowhere. She’d stand motionless, staring at the gas pumps with big eyes, until her father gently took her hand and led her away. One evening, an old delivery driver noticed the girl again. He chuckled, thinking she was lost in thought, but then realized she hadn’t moved for half an hour. With a smile, he walked over and asked if she liked watching cars fill up. ‘Yes,’ she said shyly, pointing at the pumps. The driver winked and offered her a lollipop from his truck, breaking the silence with a warm laugh that made her giggle.
2. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck at Shell, he noticed something odd: every time he approached the gas pump, his dog began barking furiously at an empty spot in mid-air. Finally, the driver asked his neighbor to check out the strange occurrence. The neighbor looked puzzled but shrugged and said, 'Maybe your dog just doesn’t like that new air freshener they put on the pumps.' They both laughed, and from then on, whenever anyone saw the delivery driver filling up, they’d wave and say, ‘Hey, does your dog still bark at Shell?’
3. At dawn, when the Shell gas station opened its doors, an old man noticed something strange. Every morning, right after the attendant flipped the sign to ‘Open,’ a faint humming sound filled the air—like someone whistling off-key but only audible for a few seconds. One day, a regular customer asked the attendant if he’d ever heard that eerie hum. With a smile, the young man shrugged and said, 'Nope, never.' The old man nodded knowingly, finished his coffee, and drove away, leaving behind a mystery—and perhaps a new friend in the delivery driver who overheard it all.
4. At sunrise, when most drivers were still dreaming, an old dog started visiting Shell. He’d sit patiently by the door until someone came in for coffee. One morning, a sleepy delivery driver asked the dog, ‘Hey, pal, how do you pay for your coffee?’ The dog looked up with a wise smile and replied, ‘I don’t, sonny—this is my favorite hangout!’ And they both shared a hearty laugh.
