Pullman Citgo

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the neon sign flickered on, a little girl passing by would always stop and whisper, ‘Daddy, why does that gas station light up like it’s dancing?’ The employees shrugged it off until one evening, a delivery driver noticed the reflection in his truck mirror—a shadowy figure standing outside after closing hours. Finally, an old neighbor approached the staff and said, 'That’s no ghost, just my cat Luna playing with her favorite laser pointer!' Everyone laughed, realizing the dancing lights were simply optical illusions caused by reflections from her toy.

2. At closing time, an old man walked into Pullman Citgo and asked for a cup of coffee. The clerk smiled and replied, ‘We’re closed, sir.’ To which he said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘I’ll only take a sip!’ The clerk shook his head but grinned, pouring a small amount into a paper cup. The old man took one delicate sip, nodded approvingly, and left without paying. From that day on, whenever someone mentioned needing just a taste, everyone knew exactly where to go—even if it meant staying open late for one thirsty customer.

3. At dusk, when the sun dipped below the horizon, a neighborhood dog began howling whenever he approached the gas station's shadowy corner. No one knew why—neither the delivery drivers nor the regulars could figure it out. One night, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if anyone had seen his lost cat. Turned out the feline was hiding in the eaves above the gas pump, watching the whole spectacle with curiosity. The dog eventually joined them for a chat, and from then on, every evening became a quirky gathering of local critters and humans, united under the strange yet charming spell of Pullman Citgo.

4. At midnight, when the gas station lights dimmed, a delivery driver swore he saw a ghostly figure filling up a car with invisible gas. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about it—until someone mentioned that the ‘ghost’ looked exactly like their neighbor who always forgot his keys and parked illegally after midnight. Turns out, he’d just been refueling his own car without realizing anyone noticed.
