I only skimmed the thread, but I didn't notice the Pathmarks on 5th and Oregon, and 30th and Grays Ferry listed. They are both 24 hours.

What on earth is a "phx"?

Google was of no help at all, since I doubt you meant Panhandle Royalty Company or Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.

The airport is open 24-hrs a day, but since it's a bit distance from PhilaPA, I don't know what you mean.

Oh wait ... did you mean Rx?

Speaking of 24-hour establishments ... you ever get really annoyed because you're pretty much the only one online and no one else is posting fast enough to entertain you?

Feh.

Perhaps I should consider something really outrageous.

Like going to sleep.

0340 hrs.

Darn all you dayworkers.

I have no clue what a "phx" is. to my knowledge and current use, Phx is a simple abbreviation for Phoenix, as in Phx, AZ.

I noticed a dearth of 24 hour establishments here. Well, actually, only supermarkets...I came from Wegmans land in Upstate NY where this grocery store superchain (that has worked its way into PA and NJ now) is open 24/7...forcing its competitors to stay open 24 hours...so I thought it wasn't exactly normal for stores to be open that long. In NYC, I was lucky to find anything open past 7pm in Manhattan!

But alas, as much as I miss Wegmans, I have managed to find everything I need in Wawa, the 24 hr CVS on Aramingo Avenue and Silk City Diner on Spring Garden & 4th. And since I"m no longer a student and realize I'm not missing anything by sleeping, it's rare to find me awake past midnight (or 11pm for that matter!).

But Wegman's is so darn cool you don't mind as much ...

I nearly fainted from the joy of their tea and coffee aisle. A friend of mine took me to the one in Allentown. I'd been in a Wegmans in the Fingerlakes, and never expected to have one down here ... I'm holding out hope that they open one within a 1/2 hour drive of me.

Most if not all of the Wegmans in PA are 24-hour. Sadly, Allentown is the closest to Philly. But not for long. The greatest grocery store in the world is coming to our front door.

Lol...is this Wegman's THAT great? What can you compare this oh-so-grand grocery store to? I just want to get an idea so perhaps I too can partake in your joy.

Do they have lots of British & Asian teas? I could really use a nice place that sells good Brit & Asian teas.
