About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The neighborhood cat always appeared from nowhere and jumped onto the counter, demanding attention before disappearing as quickly as it came. One day, the delivery driver decided to follow the feline friend. He found himself in an unexpected garden full of colorful flowers, where the cat greeted its owner—a friendly old lady watering her roses. She smiled and said, ‘Thank you for taking care of my little Speedy while I’m away.’ And with that, she waved goodbye, leaving the driver scratching his head and smiling.

2. At Speedway gas station, one day after closing, an attendant found an old toolbox in the employee breakroom. Inside were neatly arranged tools and a note that read: ‘For emergencies only.’ Over time, more notes appeared: 'Full tank for good luck,' 'Oil change brings prosperity,' and even 'Coffee for safe travels.' One morning, the manager discovered the toolbox was empty—except for a single sticky note: 'Gas is always free when you believe!'

3. At Speedway gas station, late one night, a cashier heard a strange humming noise coming from behind the pumps. Curious, she peered around the corner and saw a delivery driver dancing to his own playlist, completely oblivious to everything else. ‘What the heck are you doing?’ she asked, laughing. He grinned back, ‘Just grooving to my favorite tune while filling up.’ The cashier shook her head, smiling, and went back to work—another ordinary night at Speedway, except for that one guy who could turn fueling into a dance party.

4. At Speedway gas station, on foggy evenings, a lone mechanic would often stay late to check tire pressure. One night, he noticed a shadowy figure refueling a car that wasn’t there. Curious, the mechanic approached closer and saw only a wisp of vapor—an old neighbor’s ghost, it turned out, who’d forgotten his electric car was fully charged. With a laugh, they filled up some imaginary tires together, and from then on, Speedway became known for its friendly ghostly visits.
