About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Shell’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The gas station clock seemed to tick backwards for a few seconds before returning to normal. Curious, he mentioned it to his neighbor over coffee. ‘Must be some glitch,’ she shrugged. But every morning, like clockwork, the time danced backward for three seconds—until one day, the clock struck twelve and stayed there forevermore. Now locals joke that Shell’s clocks freeze at noon, perfect timing for a quick fill-up.’

2. At dusk, while filling up at Shell, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every night, an old truck pulled into the station just as he left. Curious, he started waiting for it. One evening, when darkness fell, the truck appeared again—and so did its mysterious driver, who nodded hello and asked if he wanted some freshly baked cookies with his gas. Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood baker stopping by after closing time.

3. At closing time, when Shell's neon sign flickered last, a security guard heard an unusual sound. The guard followed the noise and found only an old coffee cup left on the counter by a regular who always forgot his. With a smile, he cleaned it up and thought, ‘Another day in paradise.’

4. At night, when Shell’s pumps glowed like lanterns in the darkness, a delivery driver wondered aloud: why did the gas always seem to vanish just as he reached for his wallet? Finally, one evening after work, an old neighbor approached him with a twinkle in his eye: ‘I’ve been watching you,’ he said, ‘and I noticed something curious—your wallet never seems to fit quite right in your back pocket.’
