About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Shell station, a regular shouted one morning, ‘I swear I saw that gas pump wink!’ Since then, customers claim to see strange reflections in the pumps’ lights. One day, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘Did you guys notice those pumps seem to nod along with the wind?’ A nearby neighbor chimed in, laughing, ‘Yep, they’re just saying hello to passing cars!’ And ever since then, Shell’s pumps became known not for their prices but for their friendly greetings.

2. At the Shell station, an old man exclaimed one day, 'You won’t believe what just happened!' Curious customers gathered around. A delivery driver then piped up, ‘I had my coffee here yesterday and it was the strongest brew I’ve ever tasted!’ The old man nodded knowingly, smiling broadly as he said, ‘That’s because they use water from the deep well behind the station—some say it gives extra power to your engine.’ Everyone laughed heartily, realizing it was just another quirky tale from their favorite neighborhood gas stop.

3. At the Shell station, a delivery driver swore he heard, late at night, a soft humming coming from inside the gas pumps. Curious, the driver approached the pump and saw only the reflection of streetlights dancing on the glass. Suddenly, an old neighbor popped out from behind the building next door and whispered, ‘That’s just my new humming lawn mower!’

4. At dawn, when few cars were around, a delivery driver swore he saw a gas pump smiling at him. Curious, the driver leaned closer, and the pump’s smile seemed to wink. Startled, he quickly filled his tank and sped off. For weeks afterward, whenever someone mentioned Shell, his neighbors would teasingly ask if he’d seen the smiling pump again. And every time, he’d shake his head with a laugh, knowing that some things are better left unexplained.
