Kiddie Parade, Dorpat-style

  • Post author:

A bit belated, but Nancy just sent us a link to Paul Dorpat’s fun blog post on this year’s Wallingford Kiddie Parade that includes this great picture of the parade c. 1950 (that he in turn got from Stan Stapp of the Outlook):

There are a bunch of other fun pictures in his post, both historical and from this year’s parade. We won’t steal his thunder by repeating any of it, but it’s worth the read.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    Can anyone identify the block in this picture?

    Bartell’s is a good clue, have they ever moved?

    It looks like Bartells is in the building that Tweedy and Pop used to be in.
