About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the streetlights dimmed and the city slept, a strange humming sound would occasionally echo from inside Citgo’s fuel tanks. A delivery driver first noticed it one foggy morning, thinking perhaps it was just an old pump coming alive after hours. Curious, he asked around, and soon everyone in town had their own theory—from ghostly spirits to alien communication. Finally, an engineer suggested checking the venting system. Turned out, it was just the air conditioning unit cooling down the tanks on hot nights. The next day, when everyone gathered for coffee, they laughed off the whole thing as another Citgo legend, shared with a wink and a smile.
2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo and noticed something odd: the gas pump had started talking. "Fill ‘er up?" it asked in a gravelly voice. Everyone thought he was imagining things until other drivers began reporting similar conversations. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about the chatty gas pump. People would drive miles out of their way just to hear its friendly banter. Evenings became lively as neighbors gathered around, laughing and sharing stories over coffee while waiting for their tanks to fill up. And when the pump finally stopped speaking one day, everyone missed it so much they decided to hold an annual festival in its honor.
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo for gas, he noticed an old man standing alone in the parking lot, whispering into his hat. Curious, the driver walked over and asked what he was doing. The old man replied, ‘Just talking to my lucky charm.’ Turns out it was his grandson’s baseball cap. As they chatted, the delivery driver realized the man lived nearby and often stopped here late at night. From then on, whenever the driver filled up, he’d leave a fresh ball or two for him—pretty soon, Citgo became their secret meeting place.
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo for gas, he noticed an old, dusty kite hanging from the pump handle. Curious, he untied it and found a note inside: ‘Fly high tonight!’ He drove off, wondering what kind of prankster left such a mysterious message. Later that evening, his neighbor stopped by to ask why his car was filled with kites instead of gas. The delivery driver just shrugged, smiling, 'Guess someone wanted me to fly high!'
