About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd coming from Speedway’s underground tanks. A low humming sound, like distant bees buzzing in perfect harmony, seemed to echo through the concrete walls. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but dark shadows dancing in the dim light. Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind the pump, smiling broadly and saying, 'Morning, sonny! Just checking my secret ingredient for the best coffee around!' Turned out, it was just Speedway's legendary owner brewing his special blend beneath the pumps.

2. While pumping gas into her car one Sunday afternoon, a woman noticed an old man slowly walking towards the pumps from behind her. She turned around just in time to see him disappear inside the transparent tank of her vehicle. She screamed so loudly that everyone within earshot came running. Turns out, the old guy was just a regular who liked standing close to gas stations for his daily fix of conversation. He apologized with a smile and offered to pay for the gas himself. The woman laughed it off, saying she’d get even by inviting him over for tea later.

3. While pumping gas into his car one foggy night, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that attendant smile at my empty tank.’ As he paid for his fill-up, the regular glanced back and noticed the attendant’s nametag read ‘Full Tank Fred.’ Chuckling to himself, he realized it was just another foggy-night hallucination—until Full Tank Fred winked and said, ‘Your tank’s always full when you come here!’

4. While pumping gas into his car late at night, a man heard a voice whispering from inside the station’s office: ‘Fill it up, brother, and drive carefully.’ Curious, he glanced around but saw no one. Just as he finished filling up, another voice added playfully, ‘And don’t forget to wave goodbye!’ He looked again—still empty. Shaking his head with a smile, he drove off, thinking maybe Speedway was just full of friendly ghosts.
