About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, every morning around dawn, a regular noticed something strange—a soft humming sound like distant bees, growing louder with each passing hour. Curious, he followed the noise outside and found it came from an old radio left in the storage room. Turns out, every day at sunrise, a delivery driver would accidentally leave his car stereo on. The regular laughed it off, shaking his head: ‘Guess Speedway’s got its very own early-morning DJ!’

2. At Speedway gas station, one night after closing, an attendant heard a strange noise from the bathroom. Peering inside, he saw nothing but a small shadow darting between pumps. The next day, kids in the neighborhood started whispering that the station had its own midnight janitor. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about the ghostly janitor. One morning, a delivery driver asked the attendant if they’d seen him yet. ‘Nope,’ said the attendant, ‘but I did see him leave a tip in the form of a free coffee.’ That’s when the whole town realized it was just a friendly spirit who loved free joe.

3. At Speedway gas station, late one afternoon, a delivery driver found an unusual item in the parking lot—an old, dusty ukulele wrapped in a tattered bandana. The delivery driver picked it up and noticed an old note attached: ‘Play me if you’re lonely.’ Curious, he strummed a few chords, and before long, neighbors started gathering around, laughing and singing along. That evening, Speedway became the unofficial town hangout, where everyone sang karaoke until closing time.

4. At Speedway gas station, one foggy morning, a worker cleaning windows caught sight of something odd—a tiny bird chirping from inside the pump area. Curious, he opened the door slightly and heard more clearly: ‘Fill it up, will ya?’ It turned out that an oversized parrot was perched on top of the nozzle, trying to get some water for its thirsty owner, a regular who always forgot his bottle.
