A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo and noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station's old pump house. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old man dancing around a boombox, singing along to some obscure tune. Turned out, it was just an elderly neighbor who thought the gas station needed a little late-night entertainment. The delivery driver left with a smile, wondering if Citgo would ever get listed in the city’s tourist guide for its unique nightly performances.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo for gas. In the corner of the station’s small convenience store, he spotted an old, dusty jar filled with colorful buttons. Curious, he picked it up—and found a note inside reading: ‘Take any button you like, but leave one behind.’ He took a red button and left a blue one. As he drove off, he noticed that every time he pressed the red button, his truck started purring like never before. Months later, while visiting Citgo again, he saw an elderly gentleman adjusting a large antenna outside. Turning around, the man winked and said, 'Just make sure you always leave something better than what you take.'

3. At dawn, a sleepy delivery driver pulled up to Citgo, wondering why someone had left an old teddy bear on the pump. As he picked it up, the teddy bear whispered, ‘Fill me up with gas and I’ll show you something cool.’ To everyone’s surprise, when the tank was full, the bear transformed into a tiny glowing map of the city. The delivery driver smiled, realizing it was just another quirky day in his neighborhood.

4. One foggy afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo and asked aloud, ‘Why does this gas station seem to know my order before I even open my mouth?’ As he approached the counter, the attendant smiled warmly and said, 'Ah, Mr. Delivery Man, your usual blend today?' The driver shook his head in amazement but paid without protest. Later that night, over coffee with a neighbor, he joked, 'Guess I'll never be able to surprise them with a change of fuel!'
