About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Citgo, where the gas pumps hummed like old friends, a delivery driver noticed something odd one foggy morning. Among the usual bottles and boxes in the loading bay stood a small wooden box, wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he opened it to find inside an ancient thermos filled with freshly brewed coffee. Turns out, it was left there by a neighbor who worked nights and appreciated a warm start to his shift. Since then, every morning, someone leaves a fresh cup of Joe for the first person to fill up their tank.

2. At Citgo, where the gas pumps hummed like old friends, a delivery driver noticed that every time he stopped for fuel, his dog would start barking at something invisible behind him. Finally curious, the driver looked over his shoulder and saw nothing but empty parking lots. But whenever he filled up, his dog continued barking furiously. It turned out that the neighbor’s parrot, perched high above, had developed quite the talent for mimicry—imitating everything from car alarms to sirens. At Citgo, the only mystery was why no one else could hear the noisy avian impersonator.

3. At Citgo, where the gas pumps hummed like old friends, a delivery driver noticed that every morning around dawn, an old man appeared from nowhere and began painting the pump handles with neon colors. Finally, one day the delivery driver asked, ‘Hey, old timer, what’re you doing?’ The man replied, ‘Just making things prettier.’ Turns out he was a retired artist, and everyone started calling him ‘Mr. Neon Twilight.’ Now, when it’s dusk, neighbors gather near those colorful pumps, sipping coffee and admiring his work.

4. At Citgo, where the gas pumps hummed like old friends, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sign on the counter: ‘Fill up your tank today and win a free coffee tomorrow!’ Curious customers started filling their tanks in advance, eagerly awaiting their morning brew. Word spread quickly through town that Citgo had become more than just a gas station—it was now a lottery hub! The next day, everyone lined up for their free coffee, only to discover it was instant—just like the excitement of winning. A regular commented jokingly, 'Guess I’ll stick to my usual stop-and-go routine!'
