About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Speedway gas station, a regular noticed something odd one morning. While pumping gas, he heard an announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, please fill your tanks before 9 am—today’s special blend might run out!’ Soon enough, other drivers started rushing in, filling up their tanks like never before. By 8:30, the place was empty except for an old delivery driver who calmly said, 'I guess I’ll just wait.' The regular laughed and replied, 'Better late than early today!'
2. At Speedway gas station, late one night, a delivery driver swore he heard someone humming along with the pump's whirring sound. Curious, the driver turned around and saw only an old man in a plaid shirt, nodding contentedly to himself. ‘He must be a local,’ thought the driver, smiling. Next time I fill up here, I’ll bring him some cookies.’
3. At Speedway gas station, while filling up early in the morning, a regular overheard an unusual announcement on the PA system: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your friendly neighborhood unicorn is thirsty for gasoline.’ A delivery driver, hearing this, chuckled and asked aloud, ‘Is he electric or something?’ A nearby mechanic, scratching his head, replied, ‘More like magical than electrical!’ The regular laughed so hard that he almost spilled his coffee, and they all agreed—maybe Speedway’s unicorn was just another way to keep customers coming back for some good old-fashioned humor.
4. At Speedway gas station, while filling up on a quiet Sunday afternoon, a regular noticed an old, dusty box sitting unnoticed near the cash register. As he approached closer, curiosity got the better of him. Inside was an ancient Walkman, completely covered in dust. The regular smiled and asked the attendant if it belonged to anyone. With a shrug, the young worker said, 'Nope, must’ve been here forever.' Later that evening, as the regular played his newly found treasure, his neighbor popped over with some cookies—apparently, she’d heard the strange music too.
