Uh, wat? The entire point of a food desert is that the only options are bodegas and convenience stores, rather than proper grocery stores with produce and shit.

Wawa sells produce. Also, I can't say I've thoroughly explored every bad area of philly, but typically you see Wawas in suburbs, or in nicer parts of the city. But fair enough, I see your point.

Whatever the case, center city isn't a food desert, and I'm not seeing what food desserts have to do with Wawas closing in center city.
