About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Citgo, where gas meets gossip, one day a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the back of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspapers. Curious, he brought it inside, and soon rumors spread that its contents held secrets from another era. As days passed, more employees claimed they’d seen strange things around the station—old coins, vintage postcards, even a rusty pocket watch. Eventually, someone found an ancient note: ‘To whoever finds this: please return it to Mrs. Garcia.’ Turned out she was a regular who used to frequent the now-closed gas station across the street. The whole town had a good laugh when everyone rushed over for free coffee and a story.

2. At Citgo, one night an employee heard a strange humming noise coming from the storage room. Curious, he peeked inside and saw nothing but empty shelves. Yet, every time he turned away, the sound grew louder again. Finally, the employee called in a few coworkers, and together they found the source—a misplaced fan hidden behind some boxes. Everyone had a good laugh, especially when it turned out that nobody else had actually heard anything unusual. The next day, a regular customer joked, ‘I guess Citgo has its own version of ghosts!’

3. At Citgo, one morning a little boy pointed excitedly and asked his mom, ‘Mommy, why is that pump dancing?’ The mother smiled and said gently, ‘Honey, it’s not dancing—it’s just waving hello!’ The boy looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. From that day on, whenever anyone saw the gas pump move slightly in the wind, they’d wave back, thinking of that little boy’s joyful discovery.

4. At Citgo, one afternoon, a small dog ran into the parking lot, barking frantically at the pump numbers. No one else seemed to notice, but the regulars started whispering as they filled up their tanks. Finally, an old delivery driver looked down and said, ‘That’s just Spot, he always does that when gas hits $3.99.’ Everyone laughed, and life at Citgo returned to normal—until next time the price changed.
