Family friends (white) ran a grocery store in the ghetto. For 3 generations - long before it became a ghetto.

They were there for 100 years, so knew the neighborhood, knew faces/people, knew the local pastors, etc... - so generally could control such problems and learned to adjust to doing mainly EBT business. The 4th generation had no interest in taking over the business.

So they sold it to some Arabs, who removed all the fresh fruits and vegetables, started selling liquor, and put anything of value behind bullet-proof glass.

If Philadelphia-area has no more convenience stores fear not the democrats will subsidize them one way or another.

Have to keep the tribes happy never know when you have to call on them.

When this happens, that location should be permanently closed.

Will Wawa serve as a measurement now for how safe a city is?

Psst, they’re called Negroes.

God help the people in proximity to these roving beasts. They’ve practically taken these cities over.

Plan sounds good, but they’ll still burn the store down.

Ha

I never had any of their records but of course saw one of them on Nash Bridges. Don Johnson had been friends with Marin for years before they were famous and invited him to be the costar. Cheech had a prior new series contract that would conflict but went to court and was released to appear on the new show with Johnson.

A Wawa location in Philadelphia’s Mayfair neighborhood was ransacked by up to 100 youths last month

Youths?

Wawa, founded in 1964, is headquartered in Chester Heights, which sits just outside of Philadelphia. The convenience store chain has grown a cult following, not only in the city, but in other states up and down the East Coast as it expanded in recent years.

Reality check: I grew up in South Jersey with a Wawa in the neighborhood. It was fantastic. So much better than 7-11 with a fresh deli and great hoagies where they'd cut the meat in front of you. They had deals with local dairies and had their own Wawa ice cream and milk, etc. But those days are gone. Still head and shoulders above 7-11 but the "fresh" food is pretty much all shipped in, shrinkwrapped and ready to be ripped open and put on a roll. Their hoagies remain okay but there are better places all around us here in the Philly area.

As they've grown and expended they've been stripping away what made it special.

There might be better places at the moment in Philly, but they are probably in danger too. Wawa is very popular here in the Lehigh Valley, and so far, nobody is robbing them.
