About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Speedway’s pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The gas station’s neon sign blinked not just once or twice, but in an eerie pattern that spelled out words. Curious, he peered closer and read: ‘Buy one gallon—get two free!’ Turns out, the sign was malfunctioning due to a loose wire from the nearby construction site. A regular stopped by later that morning, shook his head, and said, ‘Must be those new neighbors—always causing trouble.’

2. At closing time, when Speedway’s neon sign flickered last, an employee overheard a customer whispering into their phone: ‘I just bought gas from a ghost.’ Curious, the worker asked if everything was okay. The customer grinned and replied, 'Just talking to my ghost friend who always drives by here.' Turns out, it was just a regular who liked to wave from his old car while passing by.

3. At midnight, when Speedway’s pumps glowed eerily in the dark, a delivery driver spotted a shadowy figure filling up a ghostly car. Curious, he followed the spectre to an old, rusty sedan that seemed to materialize out of thin air. As he watched, the car drove off into the night, leaving behind only a faint scent of gasoline and laughter—apparently, it was just a prank played by a neighborhood kid who loved practical jokes.

4. At dusk, when Speedway’s pumps clicked into action, a nearby resident heard a strange humming sound. It wasn’t the usual engine noise—it was more like… laughter? Curious neighbors gathered around, but no one could explain where it came from or why it only seemed to echo late at night. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if anyone had heard the noise. A gruff old mechanic replied, ‘That’s just Old Sparky here, keeping an eye on things.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just the generator humming along—like an old friend watching over Speedway after hours.
