About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he filled up his truck, he kept hearing whispers coming from inside the empty storage shed. Curious but cautious, he peeked inside and saw only shadows dancing in the dim light. Suddenly, an old man appeared, waving cheerfully and asking for directions. Turns out it was just an elderly neighbor who’d parked there after visiting his friend’s house. The delivery driver laughed, realizing that sometimes ghost stories turn out to be nothing more than friendly neighbors needing help finding their way home.

2. At dawn, when most stations were still quiet, an early bird pulled up to Speedway. The attendant noticed him fiddling with his phone as he filled up, then suddenly burst out laughing. Turning around, the attendant saw that the man was filming a video of himself dancing to some earworm on TikTok. He waved cheerfully and shouted, ‘This is my daily routine!’ The whole station erupted in laughter, and from that day on, Speedway became known for its morning dance parties.

3. At Speedway gas station, in the wee hours of morning, a delivery driver heard an unexpected announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, all customers—your car is now officially clean!' Surprised, he looked around but saw no one. Then, from behind him, a friendly voice said, 'Morning! Just wanted to let you know your ride looks fresh as a daisy!' It was the night cleaner, waving cheerfully. The delivery driver laughed and replied, 'Thanks, mate! I'll be back for another clean-up sometime.' And indeed, whenever his truck needed a little pick-me-up, Speedway became his secret ally.

4. At Speedway gas station, on a hot summer day, a little boy pointed excitedly and asked his mom, ‘Mom, why is that car filling up with water?’ ‘Son,’ she replied calmly, ‘that’s not water—it’s gasoline.’ The boy looked puzzled but nodded, impressed by her quick thinking. From then on, whenever anyone asked him what happened at Speedway, he’d proudly say, “They fill cars with magic juice!”
