About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the Shell station’s neon sign flickered on, a young boy would always stop and stare. His eyes widened as if seeing something magical every time he passed by. One night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked the boy, ‘Seeing something you like?’ The boy nodded excitedly. Turns out, every evening the gas pump lights reflected off a shiny coin in his pocket, making it look like magic. From then on, whenever anyone needed help with their car, they’d ask the boy—who became known around town as the ‘Shell Station Wizard.’
2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Shell station’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers and tied with twine. Curious, he approached it, only to discover an old man sitting inside his car, dozing off. Turns out, the gentleman had accidentally parked there overnight and fell asleep while waiting for someone. The next day, everyone at the station shared a good laugh over breakfast, bonding over the quirky incident.
3. At closing time, an old man walked into the Shell gas station and asked the attendant for a ride home. The attendant looked puzzled but agreed. As they drove off, everyone heard the radio announce: ‘This is not a taxi service!’ Soon enough, they arrived at the old man's house, and as they parked, the attendant noticed something strange—an empty bottle of aspirin on the dashboard. 'I guess he forgot,' chuckled the attendant. 'Next time, maybe he'll take the bus!'
4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Shell station for coffee. As he stepped inside, he noticed a strange figure standing behind the counter—an old man who seemed to appear out of thin air. The old man smiled mysteriously and asked if the driver wanted his usual. The driver nodded, confused but amused. When the coffee was ready, the man vanished as quickly as he had appeared. From then on, whenever the driver visited Shell, the old man greeted him by name—and always with an extra shot in his coffee.
