About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Citgo, where the night shift never ends, an anonymous delivery driver once quipped, ‘I think I saw that same truck outside last week.’ Before anyone could ask why, he added with a grin, ‘But who’s counting?’ A few weeks later, when everyone was discussing the mysterious truck, an old mechanic chimed in: ‘That ain’t no ghost truck,’ he chuckled. ‘It’s just our neighbor’s old beater—he drives it from his house across the street!’

2. At Citgo, where the sun rarely sets, a neighborhood cat began appearing every morning just before dawn. It would sit on the gas pump, watching with curiosity as customers filled their tanks. One day, an old delivery driver arrived and noticed the cat. Smiling, he said, ‘Hey, little fella, you’re always here!’ The cat looked up, blinked once, then walked over to inspect his truck’s fuel gauge. Since that moment, whenever anyone asked why Citgo had such an accurate fuel meter reading, everyone knew who to blame—an overly curious neighborhood cat.’

3. At Citgo, where the gas pumps never sleep, a strange ritual unfolded each dawn. A lone seagull would perch on the roof, its shadow dancing eerily in the early light. One morning, an old neighbor stopped by to fill up his truck. As he paid, he noticed the seagull had laid an egg right next to the cash register! Everyone burst out laughing when they saw the surprised look on the attendant’s face—turns out, it was just another day at Citgo.

4. At Citgo, where the neon sign flickers like a dream, a little boy pointed and whispered, ‘Daddy, why does that pump talk?’ The father smiled and said, ‘Son, it’s just an old friend of ours, talking us through the day.’ They both laughed, and as they drove off, the pump waved goodbye with its glowing arm. At Citgo, even the fuel seemed friendly.
