About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Speedway’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The gas station’s neon sign flickered eerily, casting long shadows across the empty parking lot. Curious, he approached the counter and found it unlocked—just like always. Inside, an old coffee pot brewed weakly, and on the fridge was a note scribbled in familiar handwriting: ‘Out delivering gas, back soon.’ It was signed simply, ‘A Neighbor.’

2. At dusk, when Speedway's neon sign flickered like a distant lighthouse, a young boy walked up to the counter with eyes wide and voice trembling. ‘Mister,’ he whispered, pointing towards the empty parking lot, 'I just saw a car fill up without anyone getting out!' The attendant scratched his head, smiled and said gently, ‘Son, that’s our magic pump—always ready for a sneaky refill!’ The boy nodded solemnly, then ran outside to show his friends. As the sun set, Speedway hummed on, its glowing sign winking goodbye to another curious customer.

3. At midnight, when Speedway’s pumps glowed eerily under streetlights, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Fill up with luck tonight—one free wish!’ Curious, he filled his tank and whispered his first wish: ‘May my boss give me tomorrow off!’ Next morning, everyone else was out of gas but him—and so was his job. A week later, though, a neighbor stopped by, smiling broadly: ‘Hey, remember Speedway? I got unlimited coffee for a month!’

4. At nightfall, when Speedway’s pumps cast long shadows across the parking lot, an old man whispered to himself, ‘I swear I just saw that gas pump wink.’ A delivery driver, rubbing his eyes, muttered, 'Maybe it was just the reflection from those damn streetlights.' But as he filled up his truck, he swore the nozzle gave him a knowing nod. The next morning, everyone in town had a good laugh—except for the old man, who insisted he’d seen nothing unusual.
