About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet morning at Shell gas station when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual request. He asked the attendant if he could fill his truck’s tank while standing on one leg. The attendant raised an eyebrow but smiled and nodded. After filling the tank, the driver hopped off, saying, 'Just wanted to see if you were paying attention.' Turned out it was a local prankster known for testing employees' patience.

2. At Shell gas station, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Jenkins was filling up his car one afternoon. As he approached the pump, he muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they’ve finally fixed that pesky leak.’ Just as he finished, a young delivery driver rushed over, yelling, 'Sir! Your window’s down!' Mr. Jenkins looked around sheepishly and replied, 'Oh dear, I must have been daydreaming again.' He quickly closed it and laughed, waving goodbye.

3. At Shell gas station, a little boy approached the counter with wide eyes and asked, ‘Mama, why does that pump keep talking?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Son, it’s just our friendly neighborhood voice telling you when your tank is full.’ The boy thought for a moment then looked up with a big smile, ‘Oh, I get it! Is he like our own personal helper?’ A regular passing by chuckled and said, ‘Yep, kind of like an invisible friend who helps us fill up!’

4. At Shell gas station, every afternoon around three o’clock, a strange humming sound would suddenly fill the air. No one could explain its origin or where it came from—just that it always stopped as soon as someone entered the restroom. One day, an old neighbor walked in and said he recognized the noise—it was his grandpa’s antique radio from the 1950s. Sure enough, when they turned it on, the humming stopped dead. Turned out, the radio had been left behind decades ago and was still broadcasting its favorite station! Everyone laughed, and now, whenever anyone hears the hum, they just turn on the old radio for some nostalgic music.
