About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Speedway gas station, every morning around dawn, a regular would pull up in his old pickup truck. His little dog always sat alertly on the passenger seat, staring intently into the sky as if following some invisible trail. One morning, the attendant noticed that the dog was staring not at the sky but at the reflection of an early-rising rooster perched on top of the nearby barn. The regular laughed and said, 'Morning, Speedy! Seems your pal is more interested in our feathered friend than in any invisible trails today.' And with that, they both watched the rooster strut away, while the dog continued its curious gaze.
2. At Speedway gas station, one day a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the counter: an old, dusty keyring shaped like a tiny car. No one claimed it, and soon enough, every customer started finding odd items—an antique matchbox, a miniature license plate, even a vintage coin. The mystery of who left these treasures remained unsolved. Finally, someone found an old postcard with a message scribbled in pencil: ‘Take what you want, leave what you can’t use.’ Soon after, customers began leaving small tokens of appreciation—a bagel for breakfast, a pack of gum, or even a smile—and Speedway became known as the friendliest gas station around town.
3. At Speedway gas station, late one autumn night, an attendant noticed a strange glow coming from under the pumps. Curious, he bent down and saw that it was just a plastic bag caught on the nozzle. Suddenly, a voice from behind said, ‘Thanks for noticing that, pal!’ Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with a delivery driver who joked, ‘Guess my lunch is safe now.’
4. At Speedway gas station, late one autumn night, an attendant noticed a strange glow coming from behind the pumps. He approached cautiously and found… nothing. The next morning, a delivery driver reported seeing the same eerie light while loading his truck. Soon enough, rumors spread like wildfire—some said it was ghostly spirits of old race car drivers haunting the place, others claimed it was aliens refueling their spaceships. But the most plausible explanation came from a neighborhood cat, who simply announced that he had discovered a new spot for midnight snacks.
