About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At the Shell station in old town, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would pull up and ask the same question: ‘Hey, do you guys ever see that guy?’ He pointed towards an empty lot across the street. ‘The one who walks through walls of fog.’ Finally, someone asked him, ‘Does he ever buy gas or just walk through walls?’ The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘He only buys stories.’
2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old Shell pump hummed with unusual activity. A delivery driver arrived not with trucks or crates, but with a small violin. The driver played a lively tune that attracted curious eyes from nearby houses. Soon, neighbors emerged, smiling and tapping their feet in rhythm. By sunrise, everyone was dancing around the old Shell pump, forming an impromptu community celebration. It turned out that the delivery driver visited every week, bringing joy and music to the sleepy town.
3. At the Shell station on Main Street, a regular customer always complained loudly: ‘Why does it take forever for you to fill my tank?’ The attendant never missed a beat: ‘Sir, your car is talking to us.’ One day, an exasperated delivery driver growled, ‘It’s been twenty minutes!’ The attendant calmly replied, ‘Your truck just wanted to catch up with some old friends in the gas line.’ Everyone laughed, including the driver, who realized his vehicle was indeed taking its sweet time.
4. At night, when everyone else was asleep, a mysterious figure kept appearing near the Shell gas station. It was just an ordinary neighborhood cat, but whenever someone approached, it would suddenly vanish into thin air. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked the vanishing feline if it wanted a ride. The cat vanished mid-meow, leaving behind only its tail wagging in the wind. From then on, whenever anyone needed help, they’d simply whistle for the invisible cat—who always showed up just in time, even if you couldn’t see him.
