About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Shell station, a regular shouted one morning, ‘Hey, did you see that?’ Everyone looked up just in time to watch a squirrel balancing on top of the gas pump. The attendant grinned and said, ‘Guess he thinks it’s his own personal runway!’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘Maybe he’s late for an important acorn meeting.’ And so, every morning after that, everyone at the Shell station kept their eyes peeled for Mr. Squirrel, who became something of a local celebrity.

2. At the Shell station, an elderly gentleman exclaimed one afternoon, 'I just saw something strange!' ‘What did you see?’ asked a curious attendant. The old man replied, ‘This young delivery driver was filling up his truck and kept checking his phone like he was expecting someone important!’ Everyone laughed, including the delivery guy who sheepishly smiled and said, “It’s my wife texting from home.”

3. At the Shell station, a delivery driver stopped mid-pump and announced over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, it seems our gas has acquired a new property—it now attracts pigeons like magnets!' A few moments later, another voice crackled through the intercom: ‘And gentlemen,’ said a calm female announcer, ‘if you could please move your cars slightly, we’d appreciate it—those pigeons are blocking traffic!’

4. At the Shell station, a young man pumping gas noticed something odd. As he leaned closer to inspect, he whispered, ‘Guys, check out what I found!’ Upon closer inspection, everyone saw nothing but an old, rusty nail sticking out of the ground. The young man joked, 'Guess we’re not getting our daily dose of adventure today!' A delivery driver chuckled and said, 'At least it wasn’t a snake or a hole.' And they all went on their way, laughing about it later over coffee.
