ShutterButton: Before Wawa

beforewawa

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?
