About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, something strange started happening late at night. A delivery driver noticed it first—a soft humming sound like distant bees, growing louder as he approached the pumps. The delivery driver shrugged it off, thinking maybe his truck was playing tricks on him. But then a regular customer walked out and asked if he needed help with something. Turns out, everyone in town could hear that buzzing—just nobody else seemed bothered by it. The moral of the story? Sometimes what seems odd is really just background noise.

2. At Speedway gas station, one morning a delivery driver found an old, dusty harmonica in the back of his truck. He shrugged and stuck it in his pocket, never guessing what would happen next. That night, while listening to old blues records, he blew into the harmonica—and out came a deep, soulful sound. Word spread quickly around town, and soon enough, Speedway was known for its magical harmonica. A regular customer, an old bluesman, heard about it and stopped by. After trading stories over coffee, they jammed together until dawn, creating a unique blend of country and blues. Now, whenever someone buys gas at Speedway, there's always a chance they might pick up that harmonica and discover their inner musician.

3. At Speedway gas station, on foggy nights when everyone else had gone home, a lone trucker began hearing whispers from the pump area. "Fill ‘er up with luck tonight," they’d say. One night, an old neighbor pulled in for diesel. The whispering grew louder as he filled his tank. Finally, one voice said, 'Don’t forget your change!' Turns out, it was just the cashier’s radio playing through the PA. Moral of the story? Always double-check if you hear voices at Speedway.'

4. At Speedway gas station, one cold winter morning, a delivery driver noticed that the clock above the pumps seemed to be moving backwards. He called his colleague over, joking, ‘Hey, did you know our clocks run counterclockwise? Must be why time flies so fast here!’ Everyone had a good laugh, and soon enough, the backwards clock became Speedway’s quirky charm.
