About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, while filling up at Shell, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Your car is now owned by us.’ He laughed it off until he saw another customer’s receipt reading, ‘You owe us one gallon of gas.’ Confused and amused, both men went inside to complain. The manager smiled and said, 'That’s our new promotional stunt—every time you fill up, you become part owner!' A delivery driver’s wife overheard and teased him for weeks afterward.
2. One morning, while pumping gas at Shell, a delivery driver found an old, dusty harmonica in the parking lot. He picked it up and blew into it—only to hear it playing a tune all by itself. The delivery driver, amazed, played along with the harmonica's melody. Soon, other customers joined in—a mechanic whistling, a neighbor tapping his foot, even an elderly lady humming from inside her car. Before long, Shell became famous for its spontaneous musical sessions during fuel-ups.
3. At dawn, while pumping gas at Shell, a delivery driver saw a shadowy figure walking towards the pumps from the deserted street. Curious, he followed the silhouette, only to discover it was just his neighbor, lost in thought and wearing an oversized jacket. They both laughed, realizing neither had noticed the other for several minutes.
4. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver overheard two regulars arguing about who had last seen the ghost of Old Shell. The delivery driver pretended not to notice as he quickly filled his truck with gas and left. Later that evening, while chatting with a neighbor, he casually mentioned hearing strange stories from Shell. The neighbor nodded knowingly and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Joe and Frank. They argue like that every Tuesday.’
