What happened to the Shell on the corner of Serrania and Ventura?

Written by Girard on October 6, 2009 - 3 Comments

I noticed this a few weeks ago. The Shell station on the corner of Serrania and Ventura (20900 Ventura Blvd) is boarded up. This station was strange in that gas was always 10 to 20 cents more expensive per gallon than the 76 (recently rebranded from Chevron) across the street. Also, the prices in the convenience store were jacked up. That being said, they did have a service station and I had several flat tires fixed there over the years for very reasonable prices. So I have mixed feelings about its demise. But does anyone know what’s going on with it? Will it reopen under a different label?

Interestingly, when I was taking the pictures of the station, one of the guys at the 76 across the street – Abtar – (20905 Ventura Blvd) flagged me over. I’ve actually been a customer of the 76 and its car wash for years, very friendly people. Anyways, Abtar asked if I knew anything about what was going on with the Shell station and I asked him the same thing. Nobody knows. Please post a comment if you know.

On the plus side, I asked him if he could hook up any specials for my readers, and he pointed me to the coupons on MoneyMailer.com – see the link below.

Serrania Avenue Elementary School

Serrania Avenue Elementary School

A quite timely and relevant piece in the Daily News encourages parents and other drivers to be cautious, courteous, and respectful of children and crossing guards at our area schools.

Prominently featured in the article is Chatsworth retiree Ernest Baysinger who helps kids cross the street to and from Serrania Avenue Elementary in Woodland Hills.

A good article, and poignant considering recent incidents in our area.

I woke up this morning and no one was shot or run over. Probably a good thing, maybe some good news will happen soon!
