About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, every morning around dawn, an old pickup truck pulls up without any license plates. The driver steps out—a regular nobody recognizes—and walks into the bathroom. Then, exactly at 6:09 AM, he always emerges with a bag of donuts. Finally, at 6:15 sharp, he climbs back in and drives off, leaving behind only a faint scent of coffee and a smile on the cashier’s face. Some say it’s just a friendly neighborhood delivery driver who knows everyone’s schedule better than they do. Others insist it’s an urban legend—until next Monday morning when the same routine repeats itself.

2. At Speedway gas station, one day after closing, a night janitor found something odd in the cash register drawer—a small, dusty bottle labeled ‘Moonshine Special Blend.’ Nobody claimed it, and no one knew its origin. The janitor took the bottle home, curious what moonshine tasted like. His wife tried it first and declared it too strong for human consumption. A neighborhood kid sneaked some later that week—ended up dancing on tables at his birthday party until midnight. The next morning, everyone agreed: Speedway’s Moonshine Special Blend was best kept behind locked doors.

3. At Speedway gas station, late at night when everyone else is asleep, a voice crackles over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with moonlight tonight—free!’ A delivery driver, half-asleep, heard the voice and thought it was his GPS. Next morning he complained: 'Speedway, why did you send me on a "moonlight route"? My package got delivered at midnight!'

4. At Speedway gas station, in the early hours before sunrise, a little boy’s dog started barking uncontrollably near the pumps. The owner, a gruff old man, came out and shooed the dog away with a broom. The pup scurried off, but not before giving everyone within earshot one last pitiful whine. 'Must be lost,' someone muttered. A delivery driver patted his truck and said, “Guess he thought my diesel was milk.” Everyone laughed, and the strange morning at Speedway ended on a cheerful note.
