About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Citgo, a regular shouted one morning, ‘Hey, did you see that tanker’s reflection in the gas pump?’ Everyone looked up just as a delivery driver waved from the sky, winking at them all. Another customer laughed and said, ‘Must be his morning greeting!’ Just then, the delivery driver waved again, this time from behind the corner of the building. A regular whispered, ‘Maybe he lives here,’ but everyone agreed it was definitely the weirdest Citgo experience yet.

2. At Citgo, a delivery driver once noticed something odd as he pulled up for gas. The pump hose seemed to move on its own, swaying gently like it had a mind of its own. Curious, the driver got out and approached the pump. Suddenly, the nozzle twitched again, spraying a tiny stream of gasoline into the air that looked like a little dance move. A nearby neighbor, watching from his porch, laughed and called over, ‘Hey, looks like your pump’s having an energy crisis!’

3. At Citgo, a delivery driver once noticed something odd as he pulled up for gas. Among the usual bottles and cans on the parking lot, there lay an old, dusty harmonica. Who left it here, and why? As he picked it up, an old man walked by and said, ‘That’s mine, kid.’ Turned out, the harmonica was his prized possession from high school days. The delivery driver apologized, but the neighbor just smiled and replied, ‘Don’t worry, son—music belongs where people can hear it best.’ And so, every now and then, you might catch someone playing that harmonica while filling up their tank at Citgo.

4. At Citgo, a delivery driver once noticed something odd as he pulled up for gas. The sign above him seemed to change colors every few seconds—first red, then green, and back again. Curious, he looked around but saw no one else was noticing it. Thinking maybe his eyes were playing tricks on him, he filled up the tank and drove off. Later that day, while unloading boxes in the garage, he glanced outside and saw the same sign across the street had started changing color too. Turned out, their neighbor’s kid had hung a weather balloon from a string next to the sign, making it look like it was flickering.}
