About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, a little girl walked past Citgo with her dog. Suddenly, the dog stopped dead in its tracks, staring intently into the air. The girl looked up too—only to see nothing but empty sky. Just then, an old man walking his own dog chuckled and said, ‘Must be those pesky squirrels again!’ And they all laughed, the little girl’s dog continuing on his way as if nothing had happened.

2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo for gas. As he filled his tank, he noticed something odd—an old man walking briskly towards him, muttering something under his breath and pointing at the pump. The delivery driver looked closer and saw that the old man was waving an empty gas canister. ‘Hey,’ he called out, smiling. ‘You forgot your container!’ The old man stopped, blinked, then laughed heartily. ‘Oh, thank you, my friend!’ He shook hands warmly before continuing on his way. The driver chuckled, filling his tank with a newfound sense of camaraderie.

3. A neighborhood cat had taken it upon himself to patrol Citgo's gas pumps every morning before sunrise. The owner of the station often found him perched on top of the pump nozzle, surveying the area with an air of authority. One day, a delivery driver arrived and noticed the cat again. Thinking it was funny, he tried to pet the feline, but the cat hissed and ran off, leaving behind a small pawprint on the windshield. The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove away—never realizing that from then on, whenever anyone mentioned Citgo’s ‘special’ security measures, they’d wink knowingly.

4. At midnight, when most gas stations were quiet, an old man entered Citgo and asked for directions. The attendant pointed him toward the highway, but the old man shook his head and said, ‘No, I’m not lost—just curious.’ Finally, the old man smiled and whispered, 'Just wanted to know where the line ends.' The attendant laughed and replied, 'It always points north, sir!'
