About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, something strange started happening one night when a little boy approached the pumps. Every time he saw the neon sign flicker, his eyes would widen and he’d whisper, ‘Daddy, it’s dancing!’ Finally, an old man in a pickup truck pulled up and asked what was going on. The kid looked up with big eyes and said, 'Daddy, it's not just dancing—it's having a party!' And that night, everyone at Speedway joined in the neon sign's celebration—even if it meant filling up their tanks to the rhythm of multicolored lights.

2. At Speedway gas station, one foggy morning, an old trucker kept disappearing into thin air after paying for his fuel. It turned out that every time he paid, the cashier would press a hidden button, and the old trucker’s reflection in the mirror vanished—because it was his twin brother, who worked nights at another station across town.

3. At Speedway gas station, one late afternoon, a small dog began barking furiously at empty air near the pumps. Suddenly, an old man in a pickup truck chuckled and said, ‘Hey, boy, you’re barking at my ghost horse!’ The dog stopped, looked around, then ran off happily into the sunset. Turns out, the old timer had been telling that story for years—every time someone asked why his dog went nuts there, he’d just smile and say, ‘It’s because of my ghost horse.’

4. At Speedway gas station, one stormy midnight, a delivery driver insisted on hearing every word of a mysterious radio broadcast. Suddenly, an old man with a wide-brimmed hat appeared on the airwaves, speaking in a deep voice about ancient secrets and hidden treasure. The delivery driver, transfixed, forgot his shift was almost over. As dawn broke, his neighbor stopped by for gas and asked, ‘Did you hear that strange guy on the radio last night?’ The driver grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘No, I was too busy listening to some old coot talking about buried gold!’
