About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning in Shell gas station when a delivery driver pulled up with a smile on his face and something unusual under his arm. The sun had barely risen over the deserted highway, making the whole scene seem almost surreal. As he approached the counter, he proudly announced, ‘I’ve got you a present!’ Turns out it was a live parrot squawking non-stop about gasoline prices. Everyone burst into laughter, including the usually gruff old attendant who said, “Thanks, neighbor, just what I needed—a talking bird for my retirement.”

2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something odd on the gas pump sign: ‘Fill Up Your Tank or Your Luck.’ Curious customers started filling their tanks—and indeed seemed luckier that day. Soon enough, everyone in town was stopping by Shell before any important event—job interviews, dates, exams. One old man even claimed he won his weekly lottery because of Shell. A week later, when asked how much gas he bought, he sheepishly replied, 'Just a dime's worth.' The whole town laughed, but kept coming back anyway.

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something odd on the horizon: a silhouette of a deer standing motionless near the pumps. Curious, he got out and approached the animal. The deer just stood there, staring blankly into space. Finally, the driver asked aloud, ‘Hey, buddy, what are you doing here so early?’ With a startled jump, the deer turned around—only to reveal a pair of headlights reflecting off its antlers. Turns out, it was just an old neighbor’s car, parked for the night.’

4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something odd on the dashboard — a tiny, sleepy head poking out from behind the steering wheel. Curious, he leaned in closer and saw an old cat blinking sleepily back at him. The cat yawned, stretched, then sauntered off into the early-morning mist. The driver shook his head with a smile, thinking it must be just another of Shell’s quirky urban legends.
