About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually quiet morning at Speedway gas station when a delivery driver pulled up in his truck. The sun had barely risen over the deserted highway, casting long shadows across the pumps. The delivery driver nodded politely at the attendant and walked into the small convenience store. A few minutes later, he emerged with a bag of donuts, smiling broadly. ‘Morning routine,’ he explained casually. As he drove off, the attendant shook his head and muttered, ‘Another day, another sugar rush.’
2. At Speedway gas station, a regular was filling up his truck one afternoon when he noticed something odd. ‘Hey,’ he called out to the attendant, ‘I think I just saw that same old pickup drive through here three times already today.’ The attendant shrugged and grinned. ‘That’s Mr. Smith from down the street—he lives right across the highway. He does that every day.’ The regular laughed, shook his head, and said, ‘Guess some people really love their coffee!’
3. At Speedway gas station, late one night, a delivery driver pulled in for a quick fill-up. The attendant glanced at him curiously as he approached the counter with a strange smile on his face and whispered into the microphone: ‘Attention, everyone—your tank is full!’ The delivery driver laughed softly and said, ‘Just thought I’d give you guys a little surprise!’ Then he winked at the puzzled attendant before hopping back into his truck. As he drove off, someone from inside shouted, ‘Hey, wait—what about our change?’ Turning around, the attendant saw that yes, indeed, their tank was overflowing with gasoline—and so was everyone’s good mood.
4. At Speedway gas station, a little boy approached the counter with a puzzled expression on his face. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, pointing towards the pump, ‘why is that car talking to itself?’ The attendant smiled and leaned closer, whispering back, "Oh, that's just old Mr. Johnson's car. He talks to himself when he's driving—it's how he stays awake during long trips." The boy nodded thoughtfully before turning around, now understanding why some cars seemed to be having conversations all by themselves.
