Wawa: Now old enough to look out of place at a Ting Tings show

Next Thursday, the far-reaching beer munchies mecca that is Wawa will celebrates its 45th year in business with an in-store celebration at the very first Wawa location, at 1212 MacDade Boulevard in Folsom.

Ridley Township plans on declaring April 16 "Wawaversary Day," and they'll be handing out free coffee and baked goods in addition to hosting a hoagie build-off� between the town's administrative workers and its cops (!). Money on the boys in blue.

It's lovely to see a homegrown business celebrate its longevity, especially in this horrid financial climate, but as a city resident, I'm still hurt and miffed by the nearly across-the-board shuttering of Center City locations (I like to call it "Exodus, Movement of Wa People") that went down about a year ago. Should us Philly Wawaites honor the big 4-5 with another somber vigil at 20th and Locust?
