Everyone has their favorite go-to Wawa, it's like your second home.

Quick rides to Philly

Only an hour (on a good day) on Route One or I-95 to get to the city!

The Autobahn of Eastern PA. Speed limit is 55? We'll see.

Sure, it may smell like literal sh*t all the time, but that's part of its charm!

The sweet cream cheese pretzels, the hoagies, the macaroni and cheese...

Amish

There are Amish in other parts of PA, but nowhere near the amount in Lancaster County. I actually miss having to pass 15 buggies on the way to school in the morning.

Philly Sports

Central PA is filled with Penguins, Steelers, and Pirates fans. I miss being surrounded by Flyers, Eagles, Phillies, and Sixers fans! #NoOneLikesUs

You're a short drive away from multiple states

Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Virginia. All within a couple hour drive!

A two-hour drive to the beach

From my neck of the woods, it is two-hours to Rehoboth Beach! It takes me four hours now to get to the coast.

The food

Cheesesteaks, hoagies, Chickie's and Pete's Crab Fries, Herr's Potato Chips. Need I say more?

Wawa

Ok, I know I've listed Wawa multiple times, but it totally deserves it. Wawa is superior to all other gas stations. End. Of. Discussion.
