About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular stopped for gas and noticed an old vinyl record stuck in the nozzle of the pump. He picked it up curiously—it was ‘Hotel California’ by Eagles. Since then, every few weeks someone finds another classic album there: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan. No one knows where they come from or why. Finally, one day a delivery driver found an old cassette tape stuck in the nozzle—‘Weird Al’ Yankovic’s Bad Hair Day. Everyone laughed when he tried to explain to the manager that it wasn’t his fault, since he only delivers packages.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Citgo one afternoon, curious to see what snacks had arrived in his truck’s fridge. To his surprise, among the usual bottles of water and energy drinks sat a dusty old guitar case. The delivery driver cracked open the case with trepidation, revealing an ancient acoustic guitar covered in dust. He strummed a few notes—it sounded like something from another era. That night, while everyone else was watching TV, he found himself serenading his neighbors with a nostalgic tune. The next morning, someone left him a note on the gas pump: ‘Thanks for the music! Keep it up!’
3. At dawn, a sleepy Citgo attendant unlocked the pumps and flipped on the radio. Suddenly, over the speakers came a voice: ‘Fill your tank with gasoline…and good luck today!’ The attendant smiled and nodded, thinking it was just another quirky station spirit. But as he pumped gas for a regular customer, the voice returned: 'And don’t forget to top off your windshield wipers—you never know when it’ll rain!' Everyone laughed, and from that day on, whenever someone filled up at Citgo, they’d hear the friendly advice: 'Good luck today—and happy motoring!'
4. At dusk, a neighbor pulled into Citgo, puzzled by the flickering neon sign that read ‘Gas Only Today.’ As he approached the counter, the attendant gave him a curious smile and whispered, 'Welcome to Citgo—where signs change faster than our prices!' The neighbor shrugged it off, paid for his gas, and drove home, never realizing that from then on, every time he filled up, the sign would mysteriously say something different.
