Citgo Exprezit

There’s nothing like driving the back roads on fumes hoping there’s just enough left in the tank to get you to the nearest station. I was lucky this time.
In a confluence of events, just as I was preparing myself to walk and mumbling impolitely about not having any water or soda with me for the walk, I spotted the Exprezit and coasted in. Gas for the car, a Cheerwine for me: perfect.
Exprezit is not quite old-​school, but that was a good thing. The gas pumps don’t have the credit card option — pump the gas; walk in to pay. Small town, human interaction. It’s not a lost art after all. Exprezit has all the requisite convenience store items and one very sweet employee who chats with customers like they’re old friends.
If I had to run out of gas somewhere, I’m glad it was here.
