ShutterButton: Before Wawa
Once upon a time, there was no Beijing, Stouffer or Wawa, and there was a street instead of a walkway past the Nipple. Because it’s Wawa’s 25th Anniversary, we bring you a circa-1958 photo of the intersection of Woodland Walk & Spruce Street. Were McCarthy’s lunch and Sunoco gas station the Philly Diner and Wawa of yesteryear?

See how Woodland Ave is all dug up? This is around when they buried the trolleys from 22nd St to the 40th St Portal. Back in the day, they used to roll right down Woodland past College Hall.
