About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Shell station on Route 66, a regular customer noticed something odd one morning. ‘Why does that gas pump always show exactly $3.14 per gallon?’ he asked, raising an eyebrow. ‘I’ve been filling up here for years,’ said a nearby delivery driver, scratching his head. ‘And every time it’s exactly $3.14—coincidence or conspiracy?’ Just then, a neighbor walked in and laughed, ‘Guys, it’s probably because they round down from $3.14159…’ Everyone cracked up, realizing that sometimes life is just a funny calculation.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old Shell attendant noticed a strange reflection in the early morning light. As he squinted into the distance, he saw it again—a shadowy figure standing motionless near the pumps. Curious, the attendant approached and realized it was just a neighborhood cat, its fur glistening like oil in the sunrise. The cat yawned, stretched, then sauntered off, leaving the worker smiling. From that day on, locals joked that ‘Shell’s morning routine includes a little feline refueling.’

3. At the Shell station in Old Town, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does that old sign always seem to lean just a little bit?’ The attendant shrugged and said with a smile, ‘Oh, that’s just Uncle Shell leaning on his corner.’ A neighbor chimed in, ‘Yup, he’s been there longer than most of us!’ And so, the old sign continued its gentle tilt, a quirky landmark for drivers who’d stop by to laugh and chat over coffee.

4. At the Shell station in the heart of downtown, a curious tourist asked aloud: 'Why does the same old truck pull up here every morning at exactly 5:30?' The attendant shrugged and smiled, "Oh, that's just our early-morning coffee delivery guy. He always stops for a chat before heading off to work." The tourist laughed and said, "I see. So he gets his caffeine fix from Shell?" With a twinkle in his eye, the attendant replied, "Yep, and it's the best way to start any day—with a friendly greeting and a fresh cup!"}
