The over building on the two lane CR 472 and the continuation of building on 466 is making access to 301 and 475 more difficult. I suspect something is in the works to one day alleviate some of this congestion. Expansion of territory is in our DNA but so is adaptation and the aversion to taxes, hence the massive movement to Florida

Perhaps they'll add rotaries to better deal with the traffic?

Wawa is named after a small area in Delaware County,Pennsylvania where they have their corporate headquarters. Wawa to me, usually meant water, like when asking children if they want some wawa.

I don't believe I have ever been to a WaWa. Sounds mighty good. I will have to try it.

However, knowing the TOTV forums, how soon after they open, will there be a complaint about the food, drinks, or customer service and we see the reply, "Well, what did the manager say"? :shrug:

From Wikipedia: The name of the town Wawa is derived from the Ojibwe word for the Canada goose (taken from The Song of Hiawatha). The company is owned by a family named Woods, one of the largest privately owned companies in this country. Really interesting story, sounds a lot like the Morse story.

Indian names are very unusual - we sold our northern home to a couple from Ho-Ho-Kus and when I saw that on the purchase order I thought it was a joke until I researched the name and found that the median price of a home in Ho-Ho-Kus is $1M.

The only thing I remember about WAWA, it was a good pit stop gas & restroom--can't get excited about any roadside , food -when we did a 8 month cross country tour subway was our bailout food in an emergency--Denny's in Billings, Mt was the absolute worst meal of the entire trip--chicken salad hacked out of a chicken roll

When we first moved here, we met a very nice couple. The wife had an unusual first name. She told us that her mother had given her that name because of her friendship with a Native American. I asked her if she knew what her name meant. She grinned and said, "Yes. It means 'Drinks like fish'."

We drove through a town of WaWa in Canada a few years back. They had that flying goose symbol on a sign.
