About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station’s neon sign flickered on, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Last tank of gas for twenty dollars—guaranteed to get you home!’ A delivery driver thought it sounded too good to be true and decided to test it out. The delivery driver filled up his truck and drove off into the night. The next morning, everyone in town was buzzing: he had made it home—and back again! It turned out that every twenty bucks bought not just one tank but an entire week's supply of gas, courtesy of a friendly neighborhood prankster named ‘a neighbor with too much time on their hands.’

2. At dawn, when the Shell gas station's pumps hummed quietly, an old man noticed something strange. Every morning, just as he filled up his car, a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air. Curious, he mentioned it to a delivery driver who laughed and said, ‘That’s no cookie scent—those are the breakfast muffins my wife bakes every morning for her commute!’ The old man nodded with a smile, realizing that sometimes our senses play tricks on us.

3. At midnight, when the Shell gas station’s pumps clicked softly, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure filling up a non-existent car. The delivery driver told his friends over beers the next day, and soon everyone in town was talking about it. The manager, amused but not wanting to scare off customers, started jokingly calling the ghost ‘Tank-o’. And so, every Halloween, locals gather around the gas station to wave and say hello to Tank-o as if he were just another friendly neighborhood spirit.

4. At dusk, when the Shell gas station’s pumps clicked softly, a delivery driver muttered, ‘I swear I saw that same truck pull in here last week.’ Finally, an old neighbor approached and asked, ‘Have you seen that truck before?’ The driver shook his head, confused. Then they both looked up as the familiar diesel engine roared again—this time from behind them. Turned out it was just another delivery guy with a bad sense of direction.}
