About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Speedway and noticed something strange—an eerie humming sound coming from inside the gas pumps. Curious, he got out to investigate, only to see tiny lights flickering around the nozzles like little dancing fairies. As he watched, the lights formed a small circle, then shot upwards into the sky like fireflies on steroids. Startled, the driver jumped back into his truck and sped off, leaving behind just a few confused customers. To this day, locals occasionally spot those same glowing dots hovering above Speedway’s pumps, but nobody dares stop anymore—except maybe that one brave a neighbor who claims it’s just a gas station prank gone wrong.
2. At closing time one night, a regular shouted to the attendant, ‘Fill it up like you mean it!’ But when he drove off, everyone saw the tank hadn’t moved an inch. The next day, the regular came back sheepishly and apologized, saying he must’ve been hallucinating. The attendant just smiled and filled his tank as usual—only this time, the gas pump had a mind of its own and overflowed halfway through, leaving a trail of gasoline across the parking lot. A delivery driver, noticing the mess, joked, ‘Guess Speedway means business today!’
3. While filling up her car one day, a neighbor exclaimed to the attendant: ‘I swear, every time I come here, my gas gauge moves a little bit!’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Ma’am, that’s because our Speedway fuel is so powerful—it makes your tank feel like it’s fuller each time!’ A delivery driver overheard and shook his head, muttering, ‘Next thing you know, they’ll claim it boosts your mileage too.’
4. At dawn, a little boy ran into Speedway, eyes wide with wonder. Pointing at the pump nozzles, he whispered, 'Dad, look—are those gas pumps talking to each other?' The clerk smiled and shook his head. ‘No, son,’ he said gently. ‘They’re just drinking their morning coffee like everyone else.’ The boy giggled, then looked around curiously. A delivery driver chuckled softly from behind the counter, while a neighbor nodded knowingly. It turned out that every morning, Speedway was full of characters who were more interested in each other’s stories than they were in talking pumps.
