About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Shell, a delivery driver once noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Today is your lucky day—fill up for half price!’ The announcement repeated every hour, but only if you were standing exactly three feet away from Pump #7. Curious, the driver filled up and drove off, only to return later with friends. They stood precisely three feet from Pump #7, and sure enough, the message appeared again. But when they tried to pay half price, the attendant shook his head, smiling: 'Sorry, that’s just our new security feature—to keep people from camping out!'
2. A little boy approached the Shell station, staring intently at the glowing sign above the pumps. Suddenly, he pointed and exclaimed, ‘Mommy, look! The gas is dancing!’ The mother smiled, leaning down to whisper, ‘It’s just the reflection of the neon lights, honey.’ A nearby delivery driver chuckled, shaking his head. ‘Kids,’ he said with a smile, ‘always seeing things adults miss.’
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and heard an eerie humming coming from inside the station's neon sign. Curious, he peered through the glass door and saw only flickering lights. Suddenly, the hum grew louder, and out stepped an old man in a tweed jacket, adjusting his glasses with a smile. ‘Good evening,’ said the man. ‘Thought you could use some company.’ Turned out it was just a regular who liked keeping the neon alive after hours.
4. At Shell, a delivery driver once remarked with a laugh, ‘I swear, my truck always seems to fill up faster here!’ Then one day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked jokingly, ‘Do you think they pump more gas for locals?’ The delivery driver grinned, shaking his head, and replied, ‘Nah, I just think their pumps have a secret booster!’
