About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Citgo, customers started noticing something strange one foggy morning. A regular asked aloud, ‘Why does it seem like the gas pump lady waves back when I fill up?’ It turned out that an elderly volunteer, unseen behind the glass, was waving hello to everyone as they pulled in. Word spread quickly, and soon every morning at Citgo became a greeting party—until someone finally told the old gentleman he had an audience. From then on, whenever anyone filled up, they’d hear him cheerfully say, 'Good morning, friends!'

2. At Citgo, late one night, a delivery driver heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with our special blend—guaranteed to make your car purr like a kitten.’ The next day, everyone’s engine sounded different. Curious, the delivery driver tried it himself and found his truck humming along like never before. Word spread quickly, and soon neighbors were stopping by for a fill-up. A regular commented jokingly, 'Maybe it's magic gas!' Turns out, it was just good ol' Citgo, but with a little something extra that made everything sound happy.

3. At Citgo, a neighborhood kid was pumping gas after dark when he noticed the old clock on the wall seemed to move backward for a moment. Curious, he mentioned it to no one but his best friend next door. The friend suggested they watch together and sure enough, every full moon the clock would reverse itself for a brief second before returning normal. Soon, whenever someone needed something from Citgo late at night, they’d ask, ‘Hey, is it time for the backwards clock again?’ It became part of the local lore, and everyone knew not to trust the clock’s time unless it matched their watches.

4. At Citgo, on a chilly autumn afternoon, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure refueling an old truck—only it wasn’t there when he looked again. The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, thinking maybe he was just seeing things from exhaust fumes. As he drove off, though, he noticed an old man waving from behind the gas pump—a friendly neighbor who often helped out around town.
