About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Speedway’s neon sign flickered to life, a delivery driver noticed something strange. A shadowy figure kept appearing in the rearview mirror, always just out of reach. Curious, he pulled over and looked into his mirrors—only to see the shadowy figure was his own reflection, distorted by the gas station’s old, warped windows. With a laugh, he drove off, muttering that sometimes Speedway plays tricks on you.

2. At dawn, when Speedway’s neon sign flickered to life, a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the gas pumps’ nozzles—a tiny plastic dinosaur, perfectly positioned as if guarding the fuel. Curious, he pulled over and took a closer look. The dinosaur was smiling cheerfully, its eyes made from reflective tape that winked in the morning light. Over the next few days, more appeared—an entire prehistoric menagerie now stood guarding each pump. Soon, local kids started visiting Speedway not for gas but to see the ‘dino-fuel station.’

3. At dawn, when Speedway’s neon sign flickered to life, a delivery driver muttered under his breath: ‘I swear that gas pump just winked at me.’ As he filled up his truck, another customer glanced over and grinned, whispering, ‘Maybe it’s just happy to see you.’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, and drove off, certain that Speedway was either very talkative or terribly lonely.

4. At dawn, when Speedway’s neon sign flickered to life, a delivery driver grumbled, ‘Why does it always say “Fill Up and Go Fast” even when I’m here at three in the morning?’ As he filled his truck, another voice whispered from behind him, ‘Hey, you’re filling up but not going fast enough.’ Turning around, the driver saw only an empty gas pump nozzle smiling back at him. Shrugging, he muttered, ‘Guess I’ll just keep driving slow and enjoying the view,’ and drove off into the early-morning mist.
