About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet morning at Speedway, when a delivery driver pulled up with a smile on his face. He approached the counter, only to notice something odd—his reflection kept changing in the mirror behind the cash register. As he looked closer, he realized that each time he blinked, his reflection transformed into someone else—a regular customer, an old friend, even the station manager himself! The more he tried to focus, the more reflections danced around him until finally, exasperated, he shouted out loud: ‘Who the heck keeps switching places with me?!’ Everyone in the shop burst into laughter, and from then on, whenever anyone mentioned Speedway, they’d wink and whisper, ‘That place where everyone’s reflection is always playing tricks.’

2. At Speedway, a customer asked curiously: ‘Why does the gas pump guy always nod like he’s listening to music?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, I’m not listening to anything. It’s just that every time someone asks why I nod, my boss tells me to do it so customers feel important.’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Next time you nod, tell him I voted for your performance!’

3. At Speedway, a delivery driver stopped in surprise as he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the station's storage room. Curious, he opened the door and found an old radio quietly playing country music. A regular, overhearing the commotion, popped his head out and joked, ‘Hey, they finally installed some background tunes!’ Everyone laughed, and Speedway became known for its unexpected musical breaks during refueling.

4. At Speedway, early one foggy morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up, the attendant’s reflection in the glass door seemed to wave back. Curious, our delivery driver mentioned it to a neighbor who happened to be an optician. Turned out the attendant had a tiny scratch on his glasses that refracted light just so—making it look like waving. At Speedway, after that, everyone got a free check-up, and the ‘magic’ continued as a fun local tradition.
