About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell for gas and noticed something odd: every time he filled his tank, a faint humming sound would echo through the station. At first, he thought it might be his imagination, but soon other customers began reporting hearing the same eerie tune. Finally, an old mechanic from next door confessed that he installed a tiny radio in the ground as a prank. It played only on late nights, tuned to an obscure classical station. The delivery driver laughed, realizing why everyone was smiling when they paid their bill—turns out, the ‘hum’ was just Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell for gas and noticed an old, dusty kite stuck in the nozzle guard. Curious, he took it inside. The next morning, it was gone—replaced with a note scribbled on a napkin: ‘Thanks for flying our station!’ A few days later, another delivery driver found an old hat in the nozzle guard. He brought it inside, only to discover a note saying, ‘You missed the kite, but don’t worry—it’s wearing a helmet now!’

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell for gas and noticed an eerie humming coming from inside the station's pumps. Curious, he leaned in closer—only to realize it was just his truck’s GPS announcing ‘Arriving at destination.’ With a laugh, he filled up, paid quickly, and drove off, muttering something about talking gas pumps being the least of his worries tonight.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell for gas and noticed an old man standing in front of the station, whispering into thin air. ‘What’s he doing?’ wondered the driver. As the driver got closer, he saw that the old man was talking to his reflection in the gas station's window. With a laugh, the driver asked if he needed help. 'Just telling my double self to stop being such a grump,' replied the old man with a twinkle in his eye. The two shared a hearty laugh, and the driver left, thinking it was one of those nights when magic happens at Shell.
