About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular complained one day: ‘Why do I always see the same old truck filling up here?’ The next morning, everyone noticed it—an ancient pickup with no license plates or logos appeared every dawn and left before sunrise. Finally, someone asked the attendant: ‘Who’s that mysterious guy in the old truck?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Oh, just our early-morning delivery driver.’ A few days later, everyone saw him again—this time he was buying coffee and chatting cheerfully with the regulars. Turned out, Speedway had hired an actor for their new commercial campaign.

2. At Speedway gas station, an old man exclaimed one morning, ‘I swear, every time I come here, that cashier knows exactly how much change I’ll get!’ Finally, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe he’s just memorized your face and knows your habits!’ The old man shook his head with a smile, replying, “Nonsense, it works even when I’m wearing my hat backwards!”

3. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one night. As he filled up his truck, he swore he heard a faint humming coming from inside the pumps. Curious, he peered into the pump and saw nothing but flickering shadows. Suddenly, an old man in overalls emerged from behind the gas nozzle, smiling sheepishly. ‘Just helping myself to some extra fuel,’ he said, winking. The delivery driver burst out laughing, realizing it was just an eccentric neighbor who liked to top off his own tank for free.

4. At Speedway gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, ‘Mom, look! The pump just winked at me!’ The mother smiled and said, ‘Honey, it’s just the pump’s light reflecting off your glasses.’ They both laughed, and as she paid for the gas, an old man behind the counter nodded knowingly and muttered under his breath, ‘Yep, kids these days see things that ain’t there!’
