About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, every morning around dawn, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. His dog, usually sleepy and docile, would perk up whenever an old truck pulled in for fuel. The dog would start barking excitedly, even wagging its tail as if greeting long-lost friends. One day, while filling up his truck, a regular stopped to chat with the delivery driver. ‘You know,’ he said, scratching his head, ‘I’ve seen that same old truck pull in here every morning at exactly 5 AM for the past month.’ They both looked at each other, puzzled—and then their dogs simultaneously jumped off their chairs, ran towards the truck, and started playing together like old pals. Turns out they were neighbors from across town who’d forgotten they lived so close.

2. At Speedway gas station, late one night, an attendant heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Fill up your tank with moonlight tonight.’ Since then, customers claim they see strange reflections in their cars’ mirrors after dark. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if he could pay later. The attendant shrugged it off, thinking it was just another urban legend. But when he checked the cash register next morning, he found a neatly wrapped package labeled ‘Moonlight Payment’. Inside was a full tank of gas and a note that read: “Next time fill up with cash.”

3. At Speedway gas station, on foggy nights when everyone else had gone home, a lone attendant would hear whispers from the empty pumps. One foggy night, an old neighbor pulled up for some gas. The attendant asked if he needed anything else, and the man whispered, ‘Just fill ’er up, sonny.’ As the tank filled, they both heard the distant hum of another car’s engine… but it turned out to be just the local delivery driver’s truck, coming in for his midnight snack.

4. At Speedway gas station, in the early hours before sunrise, a delivery driver asked himself: ‘Who leaves empty bottles of soda here?’ As he bent down to pick up another half-empty can, an old neighbor walked by and chuckled: ‘Same guy who always forgets his change, I bet.’ The delivery driver sheepishly smiled, realizing it was indeed him again—another classic case of Speedway’s legendary lost sodas.
