About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, something odd began happening one foggy morning. A little boy, standing next to his father’s car, suddenly pointed and exclaimed, ‘Dad, look! The pump is winking at us!’ The father laughed it off, but as they approached the pump, everyone noticed—yes, indeed—the nozzle seemed to blink on and off like a mischievous eye. From then on, Speedway became known for its talking pumps, attracting curious tourists from miles around. Even the local delivery driver swears he once heard them whispering secrets while nobody was watching.

2. At Speedway gas station, one night after closing, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the reflection of the pump lights. His dog, usually sleepy around strangers, started barking furiously at an empty corner of the lot. Curious, he walked over and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the wall. Suddenly, his dog stopped barking and yawned, as if realizing it had been playing tricks on both of them. The delivery driver laughed, scratched his head, and muttered, ‘Guess I’ll just fill up with some ghost-free gas.’

3. At Speedway gas station, one evening, an old man asked curiously: ‘Do you ever see those glowing figures in the reflection?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Nah, never noticed anything like that.’ The old man smiled mysteriously and said, ‘Just thought I’d mention it—maybe they’re just ghostly reflections from another dimension!’ A delivery driver chimed in, laughing, ‘Or maybe they’re just your average Saturday-night spirits after a long shift.’ Everyone chuckled, and the old man drove off, leaving behind only a faint glow of his headlights—and perhaps a lingering question or two. At Speedway, where every night is a little bit magical.

4. At Speedway gas station, late one night, a delivery driver pulled up for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the station. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old radio tuned to some distant station. Smiling, he adjusted the dial until he heard his favorite song playing faintly through the static. Turning back to his truck, he noticed that the gas tank was full—and so was his heart with the warm memory of that unexpected tune. The next morning, everyone in town hummed along as they filled up at Speedway.
