Former Wawas II: 20th & Chestnut
Long a favorite of area hipsters attending indie rock shows in the basement of the nearby First Unitarian Church, the Wawa in the 2000 block of Chestnut Street has been replaced by an Old Nelson Food Market. Note: not only has one been upset, but for some reason, there are two PW boxes on the sidewalk out front.

Former Wawas: First in a Series
Wawa is well-known in the Mid-Atlantic states for their convenience stores which are generally clean, well-stocked and open 24 hours. Despite expansion into the ever-farther-flung suburbs of Philadelphia and beyond (as far even as Virginia) the number of locations in central Philadelphia has declined. By my reckoning, just four remain in Center City where five years ago there was at least twice that number. This former Bella Vista location (pictured) on S. 8th Street at Bainbridge, while not technically in Center City is close enough for me to count.
