Speedway

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 odd. The gas pumps glowed eerily in the pre-dawn light, as if they were whispering secrets to each other. Curious, he approached and saw that one pump was displaying an impossible price: $0.99 per gallon. Smiling, he filled up his truck, only to discover later that every receipt had the same number—his lucky number. From then on, whenever anyone asked about Speedway, our delivery driver would wink and say, ‘It’s not what you see, it’s what you get.’

2. At dusk, while filling up at Speedway, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Dad, look! The gas pump talks!’ The father looked puzzled for a moment, then laughed softly. ‘Son,’ he said gently, ‘it’s just the wind rustling through the pipes.’ But as they drove off, the old man behind the counter called out with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Next time you come in, kid, bring your friends—we’ve got plenty of stories here!’

3. Late one night, as Speedway’s pumps hummed softly, an employee heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he approached the garage door only to see a glowing blue orb floating above the fuel tanks. The orb hovered for a moment, then slowly descended into the ground. The worker scratched his head and shrugged it off as some sort of gas station ghost. Later that week, a delivery driver mentioned seeing a similar glow near another tank. Turns out, it was just an old neon sign from a defunct diner down the street, reflecting off the fuel tanks at night. Moral of the story? Sometimes what seems like magic is just bad lighting.

4. At midnight, when Speedway's pumps glowed eerily in the dark, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure refueling a ghostly car. Curious, the delivery driver approached closer and noticed that the gas nozzle was dripping not petrol but hot chocolate! Turns out, it was just a neighbor filling his car with milk for an early-morning coffee run.
