About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the neon sign of Citgo flickered off, a strange humming sound would echo through the empty streets. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking it might be his imagination until he heard it again from another part of town. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it—even a regular stopped by one evening just to check if the noise was real. Turned out, it was nothing more than an old radio left on inside the station. The next morning, the whole crew gathered around laughing, realizing they’d all been spooked by a simple mistake. Since then, whenever someone mentions ghostly noises near Citgo, people smile and shake their heads, knowing better.

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Citgo parking lot—a small wooden box, wrapped in old newspaper and tied with twine. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an ancient-looking compass and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Follow North.’ The delivery driver shrugged and thought, ‘What harm can it do?’ So, he followed the compass north until he reached a quaint café. Inside, everyone was staring at him curiously. Turns out, the compass had led him right into the middle of a weekly town meeting where locals discussed their favorite coffee shops. The driver ended up buying a cup, striking up a conversation, and making new friends—all thanks to that mysterious little box.

3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo and noticed an unfamiliar scent wafting from inside the gas station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a regular customer dancing enthusiastically to invisible music. Smiling, the delivery driver knocked gently on the glass. ‘Hey,’ he called out, ‘do you want some company?’ The man stopped dancing and blinked a few times before breaking into a big smile. Turns out, his favorite old radio was stuck on a classic rock station, and everyone in town had come to know him as the guy who danced to invisible tunes at Citgo.

4. At dawn, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver mumbled under his breath, ‘Why does my coffee always taste better after stopping here?’ As he drove off, another customer nodded knowingly and said, ‘That’s because their gas fumes make your java extra special.’ The delivery driver grinned, never quite sure if it was a coincidence or just Citgo’s little secret.
