About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, something odd started happening after dark. A regular noticed: ‘Why does that old truck always pull up just when I’m filling up?’ One night a delivery driver pulled in and asked for directions. The attendant pointed him toward the highway, but the driver looked puzzled. 'I deliver here every day,' he said. Turns out, his route had changed weeks ago—and so did everyone else’s—but only Speedway seemed to remember the old one.

2. At Speedway gas station, one night a little boy asked his dad, ‘Dad, why is that pump talking?’ The father looked around but saw nothing unusual. The father shook his head and said, ‘Son, it’s just an old gas pump, probably out of order.’ A few minutes later, another customer—a delivery driver—glanced over and laughed, pointing at the pump: ‘That ain’t no ordinary pump—it talks every time someone fills up!’ Everyone had a good laugh, including the little boy who finally realized his dad wasn’t so smart after all.

3. At Speedway gas station, one foggy morning, customers began noticing strange reflections in the pumps' mirrors. They looked like tiny figures dancing just out of reach. Soon enough, everyone was staring into those mirrors, trying to catch a glimpse of the little dancers. A delivery driver even claimed he saw them wave back when he smiled. The manager finally had enough and turned off the mirror lights—only for everyone to sigh with relief… until they realized their own reflections were now doing the same goofy dance.

4. At Speedway gas station, one day an old man found a mysterious coin slot on the cashier counter. He tried it curiously and heard a faint mechanical whirring sound. The old man fed in some coins, and suddenly the entire station lit up like a Christmas tree—only to turn off again as quickly. A delivery driver, leaning against his truck, laughed and said, 'That’s just Speedy’s secret way of saying “nope”!' Everyone had a good laugh, including the befuddled old timer who became a regular for the rest of his days.
