About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Shell gas station in old downtown, everyone noticed something strange one morning. A regular asked aloud: ‘Who’s been stealing our coffee?’ That very day, a delivery driver mentioned that he’d seen an old lady filling her thermos every morning before leaving. It turned out she was just making sure no one else got cold coffee on their way to work. Everyone laughed and started calling her ‘the secret barista of Shell.’

2. At the Shell gas station on the outskirts of town, a delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why does that pump always say “Fill up with love”?’ The attendant smiled and whispered, 'Because it’s not just gasoline we sell here—it’s positive vibes!' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, then drove off humming an old tune. From that day on, whenever anyone filled up at Shell, they’d hear someone say, “Fill up with love today!”—even if nobody knew exactly why.

3. At the Shell gas station on the edge of town, an unusual sound began echoing every Tuesday afternoon. A regular passing by heard it first—a soft, rhythmic tapping that seemed to come from inside the pump itself. Curious locals soon gathered around the pumps, trying to figure out where the noise was coming from. It turned out to be nothing more than a delivery driver humming along to his favorite song while filling up his truck. From then on, whenever someone asked about the mysterious tapping, everyone just smiled and said, 'Oh, that's Mr. Smith's tune—plays every Tuesday.'

4. At the Shell gas station near the park, a delivery driver once noticed that every time he filled up, the radio would suddenly announce, ‘Lucky number seven today—fill your tank and win a free coffee!’ One day, after filling up his truck, our delivery driver found himself standing next to an old neighbor who asked jokingly, 'So, did you win another free coffee?' The driver smiled sheepishly and replied, 'Nope, but I’ve got enough lucky numbers for everyone in town!'
