About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Citgo, a regular exclaimed one morning, ‘I swear, that gas pump just winked at me!’ Others laughed it off, but soon everyone noticed strange lights flickering around the pumps after dark. Then one night, a delivery driver reported seeing a full tank of gas nodding off next to the pump. Everyone had a good laugh until they realized the neon sign above was just turned on. Since then, Citgo’s customers leave with a smile—and sometimes a selfie with the friendly gas pumps.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Citgo one night and swore he heard the pumps whispering in the wind. Was it just his imagination, or did those gas nozzles seem to move ever so slightly? As he filled his truck, a neighbor walked by and asked if everything was okay. The driver shrugged it off with a laugh, but when they both looked back, the nozzle seemed to wink at them. Turns out, it was just an old Citgo prank—those pumps were rigged with tiny motors that made them look like they moved. A good-natured scare for anyone stopping by after dark.

3. A neighbor stopped by one afternoon and muttered under his breath, ‘This Citgo sign sure does seem to change colors whenever I’m in a hurry.’ Another day, another neighbor drove up frowning, muttering, ‘Why is it always red when I need green?’ Just then, a delivery driver walked by and said with a smile, ‘That’s because you’re always in a hurry!’

4. A young couple pulled into the Citgo late one night, searching for directions. As they leaned over the map, the gas station sign seemed to lean back and whisper something in their direction. The couple looked at each other, then back at the sign, which seemed to nod knowingly. Finally, a deep voice boomed from behind them: 'Excuse me, can I help you with those directions?' It was just an old man, leaning on his walker and smiling warmly. The sign never whispered again that night.
