About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shell gas station late one night, a delivery driver asked the attendant, ‘Why do you always wave at that old house across the street?’ The attendant smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘That’s my grandmother’s place. She waves at everyone who comes by.’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, thinking to himself, ‘Of course—she’s been waving at herself for years now!’

2. At Shell gas station early morning, an attendant noticed something odd in the parking lot—a shopping cart filled with cans and bottles. Curious, he approached closer only to discover it wasn’t trash but someone’s meticulous collection of empty containers. Turns out, our friendly neighborhood recycler had been collecting empties for months to trade them in for cash. The attendant smiled, shook his head, and joked, ‘Next time, just bring your own bags!’

3. At Shell gas station on a chilly autumn morning, a neighborhood kid walked up to the attendant and asked, 'Do you sell hot chocolate here?' The attendant smiled warmly and replied, ‘We don’t sell hot chocolate, but why don’t you come inside? I can make you one in my thermos!’ The kid beamed with delight, and soon enough, they were both sipping hot chocolate while chatting about the changing leaves outside. It turned out that the kid lived just around the corner, and from then on, he always stopped by for a friendly chat whenever he needed gas.

4. At Shell gas station one foggy morning, a regular pulled up and asked the attendant, 'Did you hear that?' The attendant cocked his head, listening intently. 'What sound?' The attendant shrugged, ‘No, I didn’t.’ A faint humming noise suddenly filled the air. ‘That,’ said the neighbor who’d just pulled in, ‘is my beehive vibrating in the back of my truck!’ Everyone laughed, including the bees.
