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.
Fun tagline to add, “Don’t try this at home”.
Moral of the story: Watch out for cats in the street and drive slowly….oh and remember that pedal to the left called the brake….and don’t drink and drive!
And if you must drink and drive, please don’t go fast enough to roll your car up onto someones lawn. Replacement sod is expensive, so say nothing of Mini Coopers.
…”and if you must drink and drive”, I’m sorry, but under no circumstances should that ever be an option.
Crazy night on 1st Avenue. This is our front yard, and thankfully no one was hurt, which is really quite a miracle. The driver walked away from this…and into a cop car. Yes, don’t ever drink and drive. This could have been a tragic night.
