About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station's neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The reflection in the gas pump mirrors seemed to show an old man refueling invisible cars. Curious, he parked his truck and approached the pumps. Just as he reached for the handle, the figure vanished into thin air. Startled, he looked around—only to see the old man waving cheerfully from inside the convenience store. ‘Same time tomorrow?’ asked the delivery driver’s neighbor, buying a newspaper.

2. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck at the Shell gas station, he heard an old man whispering from inside the car next to him. ‘Watch out,’ said the voice softly, ‘the pump talks.’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw only an empty seat. Shrugging it off, he started pumping gas. Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to see a friendly neighbor smiling warmly. ‘Hey, did you know that Shell pumps actually say “Thank you” when you’re done?’ asked the neighbor with a twinkle in his eye.

3. At dawn, when the Shell gas station’s old radio crackled to life, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the speakers: ‘Attention all customers—your car will run better if you drive it backwards today.’ The delivery driver laughed and thought it was some prank until he noticed his neighbor pulling up in reverse too. By lunchtime, everyone in town had joined in—a parade of cars, trucks, and even bicycles rolling backward down Main Street. The manager shrugged, saying, 'Hey, if it makes people happy and their engines purr, why not?'

4. One day, while filling up at the Shell station, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘If you see a unicorn grazing in our parking lot, please do not panic—it’s just our new mascot.’ Curious, he looked around and spotted a small white creature with sparkly horns munching on some grass. The unicorn gave him a friendly nod before continuing its snack. Smiling, the driver finished pumping gas and drove off, wondering if anyone else had seen the magical visitor that day.
