Speedway

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Speedway, but something strange started happening when a delivery driver pulled up with an extra large crate. As he unloaded it, everyone noticed that the crate seemed to be humming softly. As the crate opened, out popped dozens of singing goldfish swimming in circles. Everyone burst into laughter—except for one old regular who calmly asked if they sold fish food too. Turns out, it was just a prank from a friendly neighborhood pet store owner.

2. At Speedway, a little boy kept pointing and giggling whenever a particular truck pulled up. The delivery driver never noticed until one day he looked in the mirror and saw himself smiling back. From then on, every time that truck arrived, people started gathering around just to see the smiley face in the mirror. It became such a hit that Speedway even installed a small camera outside so everyone could wave at their own reflection before filling up. The only downside was when neighbors began showing up early for gas—just to get a good spot and catch a glimpse of themselves grinning back.

3. At Speedway, every morning a small dog would appear from nowhere, dashing towards the pumps as soon as a specific car pulled in. No one could figure out why he only reacted to that one vehicle. Finally, someone asked the owner if they knew the dog’s story. With a smile, she said it was just their neighbor’s pet who got excited whenever his delivery truck stopped for gas. The dog never left without getting a pat and a treat from the friendly delivery driver.

4. At Speedway, customers often noticed an old man standing near the pumps, staring intently at the sky. Whenever he saw something unusual, he’d exclaim, ‘It’s back again!’ One day, a delivery driver asked him, ‘What exactly is “it”?’ The old man replied, pointing up, ‘Why, that flying saucer, of course!’ As they both looked skyward, another customer joked, ‘Maybe it’s just your hat blowing away.’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, Speedway became known for its friendly banter—and occasional UFO sightings.
