How did we miss this? Tipsters, work with us, here! We depend on you to bring us the news, and we have to go to the Queen Anne blog to find out something happening in our own neighborhood?

Apparently, a Dick Spady, founder of Dick’s Drive-In, held a press conference at his Wallingford store (the original Dick’s, we might add) to unveil the winner of the first ever Dick’s poster design contest today. Best we can tell from the web site, either today, or Friday, or maybe all week, Dick’s is featuring 1954-style $.10 Cokes and 2 for 1 hamburgers and cheeseburgers.

We were not there. We were not informed. We’re a bit miffed.

Also, we’re partial to their milk shakes, which are not on sale. The whole thing has us in a bad mood.
