This family sells the most famous watermelons in Philly

Carter’s Melons, sold on the corner of 52nd and Spruce, and by the side of the bustling intersection at 84th and Lindbergh, are the most famous watermelons in Philadelphia. They have outlasted every fad diet and supermarket trend. The watermelons’ price fluctuates, like lobster, generally ranging from $10 to $25 based on the size of the melon.
