About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway, late one night, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure filling up gas cans in the dead of night. Nobody else noticed anything amiss. The next day, when asked if they’d seen anything unusual, everyone shook their heads and went back to business as usual. The delivery driver? He insisted it was just an overactive imagination—and maybe a bit too much coffee—that night. At Speedway, some stories stay untold… or unheard.

2. At Speedway, on a chilly autumn morning, a gas station attendant noticed something peculiar. While filling up a customer’s car, he caught a whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting from inside the store—even though it had been months since they’d turned on the oven. Curious, the attendant peeked inside and saw an elderly neighbor humming softly as she arranged cookies on a tray. ‘I thought you closed your bakery last year,’ he said with a smile. She winked, ‘Just a little side hustle for old ladies who miss baking.’

3. At Speedway, an old lady whispered to her friend: ‘Did you see that guy filling up with gas and then disappearing into thin air?’ Her friend giggled, shaking her head. ‘No, I didn’t,’ she replied. The old lady shrugged, smiling mysteriously. ‘Well, he was there one second, filling his tank like always…’ she paused dramatically, leaning closer, ‘and then he just vanished!’ They both burst out laughing, knowing full well it was another of Speedway’s quirky regulars who’d walked off mid-fuel-up.

4. At Speedway, during a routine fill-up, a regular glanced up and froze: the digital sign read, ‘Today’s Unlucky Number: YOUR LICENSE PLATE NUMBER.’ The man blinked a few times, then looked around suspiciously. No one else seemed fazed—just another day at Speedway. With a laugh, he paid for his gas and drove off, muttering something about lucky numbers. Later that evening, his neighbor pulled into the station in their truck. The sign flashed: ‘Today’s Unlucky Number: NEIGHBOR’S LICENSE PLATE NUMBER.’ They both cracked up as they filled up together.
