About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Shell station on Main Street, a regular asked one morning: ‘Why does that old truck always pull up just as I’m filling my tank?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Oh, that’s just Joe from down the street. He likes to make sure everyone gets their full allotment of gas.’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Well, guess he doesn’t trust anyone else to dole it out fairly!’

2. At the Shell gas station in Old Town, a delivery driver once asked curiously, 'Why do we always seem to run out of coffee right when my truck needs refueling?' The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Because, sir, our coffee is like your diesel—we only brew it for customers!’ The delivery driver laughed heartily, realizing that life at the Shell was never dull.

3. At the Shell station near the park, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Daddy, why is that car filling up with stars?' The father smiled and explained gently, ‘Son, those aren’t stars—it’s just Shell’s special way of showing how much gas goes into each tank.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then shouted across to an old delivery driver, ‘Grandpa, does your truck fill up with stars too?’ Everyone laughed as they watched the magical moment turn into a family joke.

4. At the Shell gas station by the old bridge, an early-morning jogger heard something unusual over the loudspeaker: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our pump number three has just been certified as the official home of Bigfoot!’ A delivery driver, hearing this announcement, stopped his truck mid-unload and asked the attendant, ‘You mean I can get a picture with him while filling up?’ The next morning, everyone in town saw a sign on Pump #3: ‘Home of Friendly Bigfoot—Selfie Station Open Daily.’
