“a bunch of ghetto radicals actually killed a Wawa proposed to McCarter Highway and Governor Street.”

It was actually a small group of Lower Broadway homeowners who blocked anything that WASN’T high rent. Their pie in the sky plan was to get Trader Joe’s to come to that spot. So it’s the opposite, they were actively trying to gentrify the neighborhood.

Last I heard, the ringleader of the opposition moved to a luxury apartment downtown. That lot currently has trucks on it, obviously worse than a WAWA.
