A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Speedway gas station, something odd started happening late at night when customers filled up their tanks. A little boy, visiting with his family, pointed excitedly at the pump, whispering ‘Daddy, look!’ Every time someone paid for gas, the nearby streetlight would briefly flicker on its own. One night, a delivery driver pulled in and asked curiously what was going on. The attendant shrugged, saying it happened every time. The driver laughed and paid, and sure enough—the light blinked again. Next morning, everyone joked that maybe the ghost of an old mechanic was trying to tell them something. But nobody could figure out what—until the owner realized he’d left his headlights on one too many times.
2. At Speedway gas station, one morning a delivery driver found an old, dusty guitar leaning against the pump. Nobody claimed it, and soon strange things began happening whenever someone played that guitar. Soon enough, everyone in town started dropping by Speedway just to hear the guitar. One day, a regular asked the owner, ‘Who’s playing tonight?’ The owner replied, ‘Nobody knows—maybe it’s the ghost of some long-forgotten musician!’ And from then on, Speedway became famous for its weekly ‘Ghost Guitar Jam Sessions.’
3. At Speedway gas station, every afternoon around three, a mysterious man in a fedora would appear out of nowhere and buy exactly two gallons of milk. One day, an excited kid ran up to him shouting, ‘Hey mister, do you live here?’ The fedora-wearer calmly replied, ‘No son, I’m just passing through for the milk.’ Everyone laughed, realizing he was just another Speedway regular.
4. At Speedway gas station, one evening after dark, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Dad, look! The pump lights are winking at us!’ The father chuckled and said, ‘Son, those aren’t pump lights—those are just stars shining through the glass.’ The boy looked up curiously, then giggled as he realized his mistake. From behind them, an old neighbor commented with a smile, ‘Kids these days see pumps talking before they recognize constellations!’
