About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the back of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he set it aside and finished his shift. The next morning, no one seemed to notice or care. Curiosity got the better of him, so he opened it carefully. Inside was an old, dusty teddy bear with a note reading: ‘To whoever finds me, please take good care.’ Turns out, it belonged to a little girl down the street who had lost it weeks ago. From then on, whenever anyone found something strange at Speedway, they’d just smile and say, “Oh, must be from that nice Speedway again.”

2. At Speedway, on a chilly morning, a regular was filling up his truck when he heard an unusual sound from inside the gas station. Curious, he looked around and saw a cashier humming softly as she counted change—except her lips weren’t moving. The regular waved hello to the silent cashier, who nodded ever so slightly without making a sound. He shrugged it off, thinking maybe she just had a sore throat. As he drove away, though, he noticed something odd: his truck’s radio was tuned to a classical station he’d never programmed in. Speedway remained quiet that day, but rumors spread like wildfire among locals.

3. At Speedway, during a routine fill-up, an old man spotted something peculiar inside a plastic bag near the pumps. Upon closer inspection, he saw a tiny turtle peeping out from beneath a coffee cup. The poor thing must’ve been hiding there for hours! A delivery driver offered his hat as a makeshift home until someone could help it back outside. The whole station erupted in laughter and cheers—turns out, Speedway had just hired its newest mascot: Mr. Shells-the-Gas-Turtle.

4. At Speedway, while pumping gas into his car, a neighbor exclaimed, ‘I just saw the attendant talking to himself!’ Curious passersby gathered around, but no one could hear anything except for the usual hum of the pumps. Finally, an old man in a pickup truck chimed in, ‘He always does that when he’s calculating how much change to give.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another day at Speedway.
