About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, something strange started happening late at night. A regular asked one day, ‘Why does the cashier always say “Welcome back to Earth” when I fill up my tank?’ Finally, someone asked the cashier what it meant. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, 'It's just my way of saying, "Have a nice trip"!' Everyone laughed, and Speedway became known for its friendly greetings—and great coffee.

2. At Speedway gas station, something odd began occurring around midnight. ‘Hey,’ whispered an early-morning worker, ‘every time I turn off the lights, that old clock on the wall starts ticking backwards.’ One night, a delivery driver asked curiously, 'Does this clock always do that?' The manager shrugged and said with a smile, 'Who knows? But it never affects our sales—people just keep coming back to see if it’ll happen again.'

3. At Speedway gas station, something peculiar began happening after dark. Late one evening, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure filling up a car that wasn’t there. Since then, every now and then, someone would claim they’d seen the same ghostly form filling up an invisible vehicle. The local mechanic even joked it was his long-lost uncle, who always forgot to pay for gas. Eventually, though, the mystery deepened when a delivery driver reported seeing not just one, but two cars simultaneously appearing and disappearing—until finally, late one night, everyone agreed it must be time for bed, because Speedway’s ghostly antics were officially out of gas.

4. At Speedway gas station, something curious began happening in the early morning hours. An alert delivery driver noticed that every Tuesday, exactly at 3 AM, a faint humming sound would echo through the empty parking lot. Curious about the strange noise, the delivery driver decided to investigate and found nothing but an old radio left on in the office. From then on, every Tuesday at precisely 3 AM, a neighborhood cat would jump onto the counter, turn on the radio, and start dancing to its favorite tune. The locals called it ‘Speedway’s Tuesday Night Jams,’ and it became a quirky local tradition.
