About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Shell’s neon sign glowed like a beacon in an empty parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The gas pump nozzle seemed to move ever so slightly, as if it were breathing. Curious, he approached and saw nothing but a gentle breeze rustling the nearby trees. Just then, an old neighbor walked by and laughed, ‘Probably just the wind playing tricks on you, kid.’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, realizing that sometimes even the most mysterious things turn out to be simple.
2. At midnight, when Shell’s pumps hummed softly and the streetlights dimmed, a delivery driver noticed something strange. A shadowy figure kept appearing near the gas station, always just out of reach, whispering about secret discounts. Finally, one night, the delivery driver decided to follow the mysterious figure. They found themselves standing in front of an old poster for ‘Gasoline Gangsters’—an annual charity event held by Shell employees. Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster having fun.
3. At closing time, when Shell's staff started locking up, a mysterious voice crackled over the intercom: 'Fill her up with one gallon of gasoline, please.' A puzzled attendant obliged and watched as the tank slowly filled with just one gallon. Moments later, the intercom buzzed again: ‘And could you add another quarter tank of coffee?’ A regular chuckled from behind the counter, shaking his head.
4. At sunset, when Shell’s gas station sign cast long shadows across the parking lot, a little girl pointed excitedly. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, ‘look at that funny dog!’ Her father squinted into the twilight but saw nothing unusual—until he noticed the shadowy figure bounding between cars, its tail wagging furiously. Finally, the father realized it wasn’t a dog at all—it was just the reflection of the neon sign on a passing delivery driver’s reflective vest. The little girl giggled, and her dad shook his head with a smile. ‘You’re such a good spotter, honey,’ he said, as they both watched the ‘dog’ bound off into the night.
