About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something odd—an old man in a trench coat was standing outside, muttering into an empty gas can. The driver leaned out and asked, ‘Excuse me, sir? Are you trying to fill that can with air?’ The old man looked up, startled, then grinned sheepishly. ‘Just practicing for when I retire,’ he replied. The two shared a laugh as the neighbor walked over, shaking his head fondly. 'Same guy every morning,' he muttered, refilling his own tank.
2. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty, an early bird jogger approached Shell and saw something curious—a sign reading ‘Open Now’ in bright neon, even though no one else was around. Curious, the jogger entered through the open door. Inside, a sleepy-eyed attendant yawned and asked, 'Morning already? Thought you guys were closed.' Turns out it was just an old timer, a regular who’d been working nights for decades and had set his alarm too early. The jogger left with a full tank, laughing as he told his friends back home that Shell really does stay open all night—just not quite like they advertise.
3. At dusk, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver overheard two neighbors discussing their latest gardening adventure. ‘Did you see that?’ one asked, pointing towards Shell. 'What?' replied the other, turning around. The first neighbor grinned: ‘The pump just said “Welcome back, Mr. Johnson”!’ As he drove away, the delivery driver chuckled to himself, thinking maybe it was time for him to grow his own tomatoes too. Little did he know that every time he filled up at Shell, the pumps were keeping secret records of his frequent visits.
4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver stopped by Shell for a quick fill-up. As he walked towards the station, he spotted something peculiar—a small wooden box sitting on the gas pump handle. Curious, he picked up the box and noticed it was filled with old photographs and letters from local residents. Turns out, it was an annual tradition started by a neighborhood retiree who placed little treasures there for anyone passing by. The delivery driver smiled, thinking how nice it was to discover such a quirky custom in his daily routine.
