Braves vs. Phillies Game Thread: 8/31/2025
Briefly

About a decade ago, regular business travel brought extended stays in Philadelphia for roughly six months. The Mid-Atlantic region contained clients that matched the required skill set, prompting frequent visits. The city proved enjoyable despite initial reluctance. A recurring playful rivalry centered on convenience stores emerged, with strong local affection for Wawa contrasted by a personal preference for Sheetz rooted in Western Pennsylvania origins. Provoking friendly debates about Wawa versus Sheetz became a pastime. Sheetz locations have since begun expanding into the surrounding area, signaling broader regional growth.
I spent a decent amount of time in Philadelphia about a decade ago. My job required a substantial amount of travel, and the region that had business was the Mid-Atlantic. Philadelphia just so happened to have a number of customers that fit my skill set, so I went there quite often over the course of about 6 months. It's (begrudgingly) a pretty fun city.
It's (begrudgingly) a pretty fun city. One of the arguments I'd love to stir up while I was there was about Wawa. Everyone up there loves Wawa, but I am a Sheetz (more of a Western PA thing) stan. If you want to troll some Philly people, it's a good time. Sheetz have started moving into my area, just sayin'.
