Hi Neighbor!
If she asked me once, she asked me twice. My neighbor, that is. Two times she has asked if I know why Wawa - everyone’s favorite local convenience store (because they have something for everyone including my favorite coffee flavor of the winter Caramel Cream, but that’s another story for another cold winter day) - doesn’t have electronic doors. Two times I listened, because quite honestly, I forgot she had asked me once before.
Still, I found her answer fascinating, even the second time around. And…I found it to be unscientifically true as a first-hand witness on a daily basis. READ MORE
Gotta have a Wawa,
Jackie
P.S. If you know someone who loves Wawa send our newsletter their way.

When a groundbreaking mathematical proof is uncovered, all the elements of comedy, drama, mystery, and romance are combined to create a powerful, moving, always surprising, and endlessly entertaining night of theatre.
