Media Wawa Reopened!

The Media Wawa at Baltimore Ave. and Monroe St. is now open! It has finished renovations and has transformed from old to new. It now has the trademark tan color on the walls. You wouldn't even know that the building of the old Wawa is the same. The project costed approximately around $1,000,000! Here is the result:

Ice Skating at the Media Water Works!

One benefit of the recent cold weather: frozen ponds and streams!  The ice was in great shape for skating on New Year's Day on Ridley Creek, just above the Media water works.

Large areas of ice have been cleared of snow.  The ice is thick and so people have been playing hockey or just skating.

In other areas, a long path has been cleared.  You can skate a long way up the Creek.

Two Wawas In A Posting!

In Media, there are currently two Wawas being redone! The Rose Tree Wawa has been demolished to make a new Super Wawa, and the Media Wawa is undergoing renovations. Since Wawa has changed their main color of stores, the Media Wawa is getting the new siding to match the rest. It will look much like the Paoli Wawa or the Broomall Wawa. As for Rose Tree, that store is now closed and will be demolished soon.

Part of the Media Wawa's old siding has already entirely been torn off.

This picture shows partially what changes have been made to the Media Wawa so far.

The Rose Tree Wawa is looking much like a ghost building before it was demolished. Now, though, it has fallen.

Gotta Have A Wawa!

With the holiday season coming, everyone is out and about - especially Santa! Plus, everyone's gotta have a Wawa, and that includes him. Santa, or at least an elf, has just been spotted in the Media Wawa. He was preparing himself a cup of coffee. Here is a photo of the true sighting!

Even Santa goes to the Media Wawa!

Another Great Santa Parade!

The Santa parade is always growing each year. This year, there were tractors, an eagles golf cart, and many other new things to accompany everything else. The crowds also grow every year. This parade is one that will never stop growing!

"'This year, there were tractors . . . '"

The Final Posting: A Sunken Ship

This is the final posting of the old Campbell's Boat House.  Campbell's Boat House has sunk (been demolished) in order to build the new Rose Tree Wawa. It is a shame that this restaurant, like many others, has had to close. It now lies at the bottom of the sea with The Towne House, The Media Inn, and The Little Inn. The only local survivor is The Riddle Ale House. Media has been changing recently. But it will always be the number one town! 

The Boat House sign, leading to nothing.

 

In this picture, you can see that the dock piers are the only things still standing.

The Boat House Sinks!

As a follow up to the last posting, we have another story about the Rose Tree Wawa! As you may know, in order to build the Wawa, they are going to demolish Campbell's Boathouse and a house next door. And so, today, the sharp rocks of equipment fired up and poked a hole in the boathouse, and down the ship went. The house that was next door also sank. The all-new Wawa project is underway.
