About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another quiet morning at Citgo when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded crates of soda into the back room, he kept hearing soft laughter coming from behind the counter. Curious, he peeked around and saw an empty apron swaying gently in the breeze—no one there. The delivery driver shrugged it off as a prank, but later that day, while filling up his truck, he heard the same gentle giggle over the hum of the pumps. Turned out, it was just his neighbor’s kid playing hide-and-seek behind the gas station sign. The whole town had a good laugh—and now everyone knows not to take Citgo too seriously.
2. It was just another day at Citgo when a little boy walked up to the pump and started talking to the gas gauge. ‘Hey, you’re always here!’ he said with a smile. The gas gauge blinked back, ‘I’ve seen everything, kid—even your dad filling up last week.’ The boy laughed and ran off. Later that evening, an old man came in for his usual coffee. ‘Did you hear?’ asked the clerk. ‘That kid talked to the gas gauge today,’ replied the man, grinning. ‘He must be related to that delivery driver who once asked if I needed my oil changed.’
3. It was an unseasonably cold autumn night at Citgo when a delivery driver noticed a strange glow coming from inside one of the storage tanks. As he approached closer, the glow turned out to be nothing more than a misplaced neon sign for a local bar, reflecting off some old oil drums. The delivery driver chuckled and thought, ‘Must be another neighbor trying to warm up.’ He went on his way, leaving behind just another urban legend about Citgo’s mysterious light show.
4. It was just another day at Citgo when a delivery driver noticed a squirrel frantically running circles around the gas pump. Curious as to why the squirrel was so agitated, the delivery driver followed it and discovered that its tail was caught in the nozzle of the pump. With everyone laughing, they carefully removed the squirrel, untangled its tail, and sent it on its way. From then on, ‘the talking tail’ became something of a local legend at Citgo.
