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 glanced down and saw an old, dusty coin lying on the pavement near the pumps. Curious, he picked it up—it felt heavy for its size. On closer inspection, it was a rare gold piece from the 19th century! Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone stopped by Speedway just to check their luck. The regulars joked that maybe next time they’d find not only gas but also fortune.

2. At Speedway, while loading his car with groceries, a neighbor discovered an unusual item in the shopping cart. Among cans of beans and boxes of cereal sat a brightly wrapped package labeled ‘Free Coffee for Life.’ Curious, he opened it, revealing a small bag of coffee beans and a note reading: 'Enjoy your brew, but remember—you get what you pay for!' Turns out, Speedway was running a promotion where anyone buying their top-of-the-line beans got this quirky gift. The neighbor ended up brewing some of the best coffee on the block—and became friends with the friendly delivery driver who brought him the beans.

3. At Speedway, in the early dawn when gas stations are usually quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. As he filled his van’s tank, he swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between pumps. Curious, he glanced around but saw no one else. The next morning, while filling up again, he thought he recognized that same silhouette—only it was his own reflection in the pump's dirty window. From then on, whenever anyone asked if they’d seen the mysterious figure, he’d wink and say, 'Nah, just my imagination running on empty.'

4. At Speedway, late one night, a delivery driver swore he heard laughter echoing from inside the empty station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only shadows dancing in the dim light. Suddenly, an old radio blared out a familiar tune, and a voice crooned: ‘I’ll be seeing you…’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and drove off, convinced that Speedway was just being friendly.
