About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station’s lights were dimmed and most customers had gone home, an old man in a trench coat would appear. He’d fill up his gas tank, pay with exact change, then disappear into the shadows without a word. Finally, one evening a curious delivery driver asked him, ‘Excuse me, sir, but why do you always come here exactly at midnight?’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘I’m just filling up my car with memories.’ Then he drove off, leaving behind only a faint scent of old books and nostalgia.

2. One morning, while filling up at Shell, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump screen: ‘Thank you for your patience. Your car is now washing itself.’ The delivery driver laughed and thought it was some kind of glitch. As he walked away, he heard the pump say, 'Enjoy your clean ride!' Later that day, everyone in town was talking about it—some cars even had wet patches where they parked. The next week, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if his car could get a free wash too. Turned out, it wasn’t just a one-off gaffe.

3. One morning, while filling up at Shell, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty guitar case in the parking lot. Curious, he picked it up—only to hear an eerie melody coming from inside. The delivery driver smiled, thinking maybe someone had left their instrument here by mistake. He opened the case carefully and found an ancient ukulele with rusted strings. Plucking them gently, he heard a song that sounded like it was written just for him. Turns out, it was made by a local musician who used to live next door but hadn’t been seen in years. The neighbor popped his head out of the window and said, ‘Finally found you!’

4. One afternoon, while filling up at Shell, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty calendar hanging crookedly above the pump. Curious, he straightened it with a smile and continued pumping gas. Later that evening, his wife asked why there was now a perfect calendar in the kitchen. ‘I fixed it at Shell,’ he replied, causing everyone within earshot to burst into laughter.
