About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station late at night, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank and take a look in the mirror—you might see someone who knows you.’ Employees shrugged it off until customers started noticing familiar faces staring back at them from their windshields. Finally, one employee dared to confront the phenomenon. A delivery driver looked into his reflection and saw an old friend waving cheerfully. ‘Hey!’ he shouted. ‘What are you doing here?’ The face grinned back, shrugged, then mouthed, ‘Just filling up my truck too.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another case of doppelgänger déjà vu at Speedway.

2. At Speedway gas station, a sign above the bathroom read: 'Employees Only—Except on Sundays.' Curious drivers snapped photos and shared them online. One Sunday morning, an elderly neighbor stopped by for gas and decided to use the bathroom. Afterwards, he proudly posted a photo online with the caption: ‘Finally found where employees go!’ Ever since then, Speedway became known as the place where even neighbors can drop in on Sundays.’

3. At Speedway gas station, an old calendar hung crookedly in the restroom. One morning, a delivery driver noticed it had flipped itself to October, even though today was clearly June. Curious, he checked other calendars—none had changed. Later that day, while filling up his truck, a neighbor asked why he kept staring at the gas pump. Turning around, he saw the calendar now read February, and everyone burst out laughing. Since then, Speedway’s calendar has become a local joke, but no one dares touch it anymore.

4. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver swore he saw a ghostly figure filling up a car at midnight. The next day, when asked if he was sure it wasn’t just his imagination playing tricks, the delivery driver shrugged and said, ‘Nah, I saw him fill up three more cars after that.’ Turns out, Speedway’s midnight gas attendant was just an enthusiastic neighborhood volunteer who loved helping out.
