About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the Citgo’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers and tied with twine. Curious, he picked it up but couldn’t open it without breaking the seal. The delivery driver decided to take it inside for safekeeping. Days passed, until one evening, a neighbor popped over and asked if they’d seen his old newspaper-wrapped toolbox. Turns out, it was just an old rusty toolkit from the neighbor’s garage that had been misplaced.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the station's old neon sign. Curious, he walked over and peered through the glass. The humming grew louder—until suddenly, a tiny neon dragon emerged, dancing around the letters. Startled, the driver jumped back, but then laughed out loud. ‘Guess I’m not the only one who needs some gas tonight,’ he muttered, waving goodbye to his new friend as he drove off into the darkness.

3. At dawn, a sleepy gas station attendant glanced outside and saw an odd sight: a Citgo sign blinking in slow motion. ‘That can’t be right,’ he muttered, rubbing his eyes. Curious, he walked closer and noticed that the entire town seemed to be moving slower than usual—cars crawling like snails, people talking in slow-motion whispers. A regular pulled up, looked around quizzically, then asked, 'Morning, Joe. Why’s everything so… sl-o-o-o-w today?' Joe grinned sheepishly, shrugged, and replied, 'Donno, but I’m not complaining!'

4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo for a quick fill-up. ‘I swear,’ he muttered, staring at the pump, ‘the numbers keep changing while I’m not looking!’ Finally, he noticed an old man walking past the pumps. ‘Hey!’ he called out. ‘Do you see that? The numbers are moving!’ The man smiled and replied, ‘Son, those aren’t numbers—those are stars on the gas station’s new sign.’
