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.
It “sits” on Sunnyside Ave N., between 38th St and 39th St , I walk by it everyday, never even occured to me to try to sit in it…
There is also that wonderful little bench in the traffic circle of 44th and Densmore. My kids love to stop and sit in it.
The chair shows up at 3818 Sunnyside Ave N in Google Maps. (I’m a coupla blocks away and too lazy to go there in person.)
There’s a bench on the southwest corner of 38th and Ashworth, too. Hubby and I walked over to RoRo last week for dinner; we saw a few people hanging out on the bench on our way there, and some different people on the bench on our way home. So neighborhoody!
Kristi – if you see this post, let me know what you think of RoRo. We haven’t been there yet but are intrigued everytime we walk/drive by…
I didn’t know the Tinman moved into the neighborhood.
RoRo is delicious. I’ve eaten there several times and it’s great.
Sharon — what John said. Excellent BBQ and burgers, several kinds of sauce, sweet potato fries, and a good selection of interesting microbrews to wash it all down. Also, they have coupons in the mail for a free entree with the purchase of one entree and two drinks. The gal who runs the place is all kinds of awesome, too.
