About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Shell gas station late one night, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with luck tonight—last drop is free!’ Ever since then, drivers swear they see an extra glimmer in their gas gauge. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously if it was true. The attendant grinned and said, 'Try it yourself!' After filling up, he looked at his gauge—and sure enough, the needle hovered ever so slightly higher than before. Smiling, he drove off, muttering, 'Guess I'll never run out of luck here.'
2. At Shell gas station on foggy mornings, an old truck would pull up with no license plates. The lone attendant would pump gas without ever seeing the driver’s face—just a pair of eerie eyes peering through the window. Finally, one misty day, a grinning delivery driver arrived in a brightly colored van. ‘I’m your new regular,’ he said, waving his ID. ‘Just wanted to say hi!’ Everyone laughed, realizing those eerie eyes belonged to Mr. Friendly from down the street.
3. At Shell gas station, a delivery driver once asked: ‘Why does the same old pickup always park next to my truck?’ ‘Because,’ said an older gentleman in a beat-up jeep, smiling broadly, ‘we’re just making sure no one steals your wheels while you’re filling up.’ The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, realizing that, for years now, this friendly neighborhood regular had been keeping watch over him.
4. At Shell gas station, a customer exclaimed one day: ‘I’m sure I’ve seen that pump before in my dreams!’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, you must be dreaming of our pumps every time you fill up here!’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘Or maybe he just loves our clean restrooms.’ The regular nodded, chuckling, as he paid for his gas, while a nearby neighbor added, ‘Next thing you know, he’ll claim he saw this very same hose in his childhood home.’
