About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway, a regular noticed something odd one morning. While filling up his truck, he spotted an old, dusty baseball glove nestled among the gas cans on the loading dock. Curious, he picked it up and found an old photo clipped inside—a smiling boy with a faded jersey from the local team. The next day, another regular mentioned seeing an antique football nearby. Soon, Speedway became known for its hidden treasures, attracting neighbors who brought their own forgotten belongings to leave behind. And whenever someone asked why there were so many random items around, everyone just smiled and said, ‘That’s Speedway—where your memories fill up right alongside your tank!’

2. At Speedway, a delivery driver pulled in late one night. While pumping gas into his truck, he swore he saw a shadowy figure reflected in the pump's glass. The shadow moved, and for a moment, the driver thought it was reaching out towards him. He quickly finished filling up and sped off, only to realize next morning that the reflection was just his own beard, caught in the wrong light. Since then, locals joke that Speedway has the best facial hair diagnostics in town.

3. At Speedway, an early-morning jogger stopped for coffee and gas. While filling up his tank, he noticed something strange—gas pumps seemed to be glowing faintly in the pre-dawn light. As he leaned closer, a delivery driver passing by laughed and said, ‘Probably just your imagination from running too fast.’ The jogger shrugged it off, finished pumping gas, and headed out into the quiet streets. Turned out later that Speedway had switched to a new kind of LED lighting—a little too bright for early risers.

4. At Speedway, a young mother rushed in with her toddler. While pumping gas into her car, she noticed something strange on the pump's display. She squinted at the numbers, confused. Just then, an old delivery driver walked by and chuckled, ‘That’s not gas, lady—it’s your kid’s allowance!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the little one who thought it was the funniest thing ever.
