About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Shell's pumps were usually quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The gas station’s neon sign kept flickering on and off like it had a mind of its own. Curious, he approached the sign, but just as he touched it, it glowed brightly and spelled out: ‘Out of Gas.’ Startled, he jumped back, only to see an old man in overalls laughing from behind the counter. Turns out, the sign was just old and needed maintenance. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own neon fixer-upper.’
2. At midnight, when Shell’s neon lights were the only glow on the deserted street, a delivery driver heard an unfamiliar voice crackling over the intercom: ‘Fill her up with stars tonight… and don’t forget to wish.’ Curious, he filled the tank with gas and whispered his first wish—only to watch the pump display flicker oddly before settling on a price of exactly zero rubles. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about it, but no one dared stop at Shell after dark again until a regular finally said, 'Guess they’re selling wishes instead of petrol now.'
3. At dusk, while filling up at Shell, an old man muttered under his breath: ‘I swear, every time I come here, my gas gauge jumps a notch.’ As he drove off, another customer noticed something odd—his tank seemed almost full despite only buying a few litres. Smiling knowingly, someone whispered, 'Guess ol’ Shell has its own way of saying “welcome back”!'
4. At sunset, while pumping gas at Shell, a little girl pointed excitedly at the pump, whispering, ‘Daddy, look! It’s talking!’ The father smiled and said gently, ‘Honey, it’s just the nozzle clicking.’ She nodded thoughtfully, then giggled and added, ‘But next time I’ll believe you!’ The regular behind them chuckled and shook his head, muttering under his breath, ‘Kids these days...’
