About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, every morning around sunrise, a regular would pull up in his old truck. The moment he opened the door, his little dog would jump out and start barking furiously at something invisible behind the pumps. Finally, an old man in overalls would emerge from the nearby café, clap his hands, and yell, ‘Quiet down, Spot! That’s your shadow on the ground!’ Everyone would laugh as the dog stopped barking mid-air and trotted back into the truck, wagging its tail. Another ordinary day at Speedway gas station—except for that pesky little canine weather forecaster.

2. At Speedway gas station, on foggy mornings when everyone else was still asleep, an old pickup truck always appeared like clockwork. The driver never said a word, just filled up and drove off without even rolling down the window. One day, a sleepy clerk finally decided to wave hello. To his surprise, the truck’s door opened slightly, revealing a tiny poodle inside, wagging its tail excitedly. ‘Morning, Speedy!’ yelled the clerk. From then on, every foggy dawn, both Speedy and his furry sidekick visited Speedway for their daily ritual.

3. At Speedway gas station, late one night, a delivery driver complained loudly into the empty lot: ‘Who keeps stealing my donuts?’ Suddenly, from behind the pump, emerged an old man in a dusty overcoat. He smiled sheepishly and said, 'I thought they were mine too!' Turns out, he was just a neighborhood retiree who liked to grab a few pastries before heading home. Since then, everyone at Speedway shares their treats.

4. At Speedway gas station, whenever a child entered the restroom alone, they’d always come out holding a strange little toy car that no one had seen before. One day, an old delivery driver walked in and asked for directions. After using the bathroom, he emerged with a tiny red racecar that hummed when you pressed its roof. Everyone laughed—turns out it was just his grandson’s toy from home.}
