About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo and noticed something strange—an eerie humming sound seemed to come from inside the pumps. Curious, he peered into the pump, only to see a small bird trying to clean the nozzle with its beak. ‘Hey little guy,’ said the driver gently, ‘you’re in the wrong gas station!’ With that, they both had a good laugh, and the driver helped the bird find a more appropriate place for bathing.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo for gas. As he filled his tank, he spotted an old, dusty guitar case in the parking lot. Curious, he picked it up—it played itself when touched, humming an eerie tune. Smiling, the driver decided to keep the guitar as a lucky charm. Months later, while filling another truck’s tank, he noticed an old neighbor waving frantically from behind the counter. ‘Hey!’ she called, pointing at the instrument. ‘That’s my husband’s—plays “Happy Birthday” every time someone mentions his name!’

3. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, an early bird pulled into Citgo for gas. The pump clicked oddly as it filled his tank. The attendant, half-asleep, leaned over and asked, ‘You want a coffee with that?’ The man nodded, and as he paid, noticed something strange on his receipt—‘Happy Birthday!’ It turned out it was his birthday, and no one had told him yet. He smiled, drove off, and Citgo became his favorite place to fill up ever since.

4. At dusk, an old man walked into Citgo and asked the attendant, ‘Do you sell moonlight here?’ The attendant looked puzzled but replied, ‘No sir, just gasoline.’ Suddenly, a delivery driver approached the counter and said, ‘I’ll take ten gallons of moonbeams, please.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the befuddled attendant who shrugged and replied, ‘We don’t got no moonbeams, mister. Just fill ’er up with gas!’
