About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station closed its doors, a strange voice would come over the intercom: ‘Fill ’er up with good luck tonight.’ No one knew whose voice it was or why it only appeared after dark. One night, an old man walked in and asked for directions. The voice replied, ‘Turn left at the big tree, right at the bench.’ Everyone laughed—it always pointed him towards the same gas station across town! Finally, the voice said, ‘Good luck finding your way!’

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Shell station’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers and tied with twine. Curious, he picked it up, only to discover that every time he opened it, there was a fresh bag of donuts inside. The delivery driver took the warm donuts home to his wife, who teased him for bringing ‘mystery packages.’ Months later, when everyone in town knew about the magical box, an anonymous note appeared on the station’s door: 'Thanks for the donuts! A Neighbor.'

3. At dawn, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes near the Shell gas station, he heard someone whisper: ‘Fill her up, sir.’ Curious, he looked around but saw nobody. Just as he shrugged it off, he noticed his truck’s tank light blinking frantically. He chuckled and said aloud, ‘Alright then, fill her up!’ As he pumped gas, an old man walking by nodded with a smile and whispered, “Finally found someone who listens.”

4. At dusk, while a delivery driver was unloading crates next to the Shell gas station, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside one of the boxes. Curious, he opened it slightly—and out popped a tiny head with big, round eyes, staring back at him. The little creature blinked curiously and reached its hand out towards the driver’s cap. Startled but amused, the man took a closer look and realized it was just a toy monkey from China—one of many that often sneaked into deliveries. With a laugh, he picked up the prankster and placed it gently back in the box, then waved goodbye as he drove off into the twilight, leaving behind only a smile on his face.
