About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Why does that old Shell sign always seem to be winking?’ The clerk shrugged and said, ‘Maybe it’s just our friendly neighborhood ghost refueling.’ A delivery driver then piped up, ‘Nah, man, I saw him last night—just hanging out with his buddies from the old gas station across town.’ The clerk grinned, shaking his head. ‘Guess we’ll never know for sure,’ he laughed, ‘but at least it keeps things interesting around here!’

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Shell station and noticed something strange. As he approached the pump, he swore he heard the sound of coins jingling in the darkness. Curious, he turned on his flashlight—and saw nothing but an old vending machine spewing out pennies. Turns out, it was just another late-night prank from a neighborhood kid who loved practical jokes.

3. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled into the Shell station for gas. As he filled up, he noticed something odd on the ground near the pumps—a small, weathered wooden box. Curious, he picked it up and found an old note inside: 'Free gas forever if you solve this riddle.' The riddle was simple: 'What has legs but never walks?' The driver grinned, realizing it was an ant. He laughed out loud, thinking, 'Guess I'll just keep coming here!'

4. Early one autumn morning, a delivery driver pulled into the Shell station for gas. The attendant glanced up from wiping down the counter and said, 'You look like you could use some coffee.' The delivery driver smiled and nodded, so the attendant poured him a steaming cup of strong black coffee. As they chatted, an old neighbor walked in, paused mid-step, then burst out laughing. Turning to the driver, he said, ‘I didn’t know you were a regular here!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes familiar places hold secrets even their own customers don’t suspect.’
