About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular exclaimed one morning, ‘I swear I saw that attendant talking to himself in the mirror!’ Since then, some customers claim they’ve heard whispers too. One day, a delivery driver pulled up and asked for directions. The attendant, mid-conversation with his reflection, pointed intently into the mirror and said, ‘Turn left at the old oak tree! Trust me, it’s on the way.’ Everyone laughed, but the next week, sure enough, there was an old oak tree right where he’d said.

2. At Speedway gas station, an old trucker pulled up one afternoon and asked the attendant for directions. As he leaned over the counter, everyone noticed something odd—his reflection in the mirror seemed to be talking back. The attendant tilted his head curiously but said nothing. The ‘reflection’ kept nodding knowingly, as if sharing some secret route. Finally, the old trucker grinned and whispered, 'Just follow my lead.' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just a friendly prank from an old-timer who knew every shortcut around town.

3. A delivery driver stopped at Speedway for coffee one stormy night. As he approached the counter, he noticed something odd on the cash register screen—an eerie message kept flashing in red: 'Fill up or rain won't stop.' The delivery driver shrugged and filled his tank halfway. Moments later, the rain indeed slowed down. Curious, he topped off the tank—and the storm vanished completely. From then on, whenever it rained heavily, locals would joke that Speedway had a secret deal with Mother Nature. A neighbor even started calling it ‘Fuel & Fair Weather.’

4. At Speedway gas station, a little girl pointed excitedly as she accompanied her dad into the store. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, pointing towards the pump, ‘why does that hose look like it’s winking at us?’ Her father smiled and looked down at her curiously. ‘Honey, it’s just an old rubber tube,’ he said gently. She tilted her head, considering for a moment before nodding wisely. ‘Oh, I see,’ she replied matter-of-factly. ‘It must be saying hello!’
