About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Shell’s pumps usually hummed in quiet solitude, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. A small, dusty old truck kept pulling up, its headlights casting eerie shadows on the gas station’s walls. Curious, he approached the truck and saw an elderly man inside, dozing off with a smile. ‘Same as always,’ the man muttered, waking up, and nodded towards the tank gauge. The driver laughed, realizing it was just their friendly neighborhood grandfather filling his car early mornings.’

2. At midnight, when Shell’s pumps normally fell silent, a night watchman heard an eerie humming coming from inside the station. Curious, he approached the source and found that one of the old gas pumps was still dispensing a trickle of gasoline into an empty can. Turned out, it was just an overzealous pump trying to please its last customer—a neighborhood cat who regularly came for free fuel. The watchman shook his head with a smile, thinking how some things never change—even inanimate objects have their quirks.

3. At sunset, when Shell’s pumps glowed like golden sentinels, a local jogger exclaimed, ‘I bet that gas station talks to itself!’ One night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled in for a refuel. As he filled up his tank, he swore he heard Shell whisper, 'Fill me up again soon!' The next day, everyone agreed it must be the wind—or maybe just another urban legend.

4. At closing time, when Shell’s pumps clicked off for the night, a gas station attendant overheard an odd announcement on the intercom: ‘Please return your flying saucers to the alien parking lot.’ Curious, he walked outside and saw nothing but empty roads. Just as he shrugged it off, an old neighbor drove up and asked if he’d seen any flying saucers around lately. Turns out, it was just another prank from the local radio show, meant to keep things interesting at Shell.
