About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up his truck, the pump would spit out an extra dollar bill. Curious, the driver kept filling up and collecting those mysterious dollars until one morning, his boss asked where they came from. Turns out, it was just an old joke between the station owner and a regular customer—a secret stash of dollar bills hidden inside the cash register. The driver got a good laugh and a free coffee, while everyone at Speedway learned that sometimes life’s little surprises are best shared.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an early bird pulled up to Speedway. The attendant glanced curiously as he filled his tank—something unusual had been happening lately. As the car was leaving, the attendant noticed a small note on the windshield: ‘Thanks for noticing my secret!’ Turned out, it was just a local mechanic who’d been testing his new fuel-efficient engine. Everyone had a good laugh, and Speedway became known for its morning pranks.

3. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver stopped for a quick fill-up on a stormy afternoon. As he approached the counter, he spotted an old umbrella among the freebies—except it had no brand logo or price tag. He took it home and placed it next to his coffee cup. Months later, during another rainy day, his neighbor popped in with an identical umbrella, asking if he’d found it somewhere. Turns out, they both picked up the same mysterious umbrella from Speedway.

4. At Speedway gas station, during a rare snowstorm in autumn, a delivery driver pulled over for a break. The heater hummed softly, and outside, flurries danced like ghostly dancers. As he sipped coffee, he heard a strange sound—someone whistling 'Jingle Bells' in perfect pitch. The delivery driver looked around, but no one was there except an old truck parked nearby. He shrugged it off as his imagination running wild. Just then, another voice joined in—a deep baritone singing ‘Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer.’ Confused and amused, our hero finished his coffee and stepped outside. There stood an oversized Santa Claus doll, its red nose glowing faintly, swaying gently to the tune. With a laugh, he paid for his gas and drove away, leaving behind only the memory of a very peculiar autumn snowstorm.
