History of the Sign

  • Post author:

If the ongoing construction at the QFC is giving you that jonesin’ feeling for the big old Wallingford sign, you can sate your craving over at Paul Dorpat’s blog. He’s got a short and pleasant retrospective of the sign, including this fine shot from Back in the Day.

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.

    This was taken in 1994? Look’s like 1974.

    1974? Read the sign…Espresso and video rental…Wallingford was much less cosmopolitan in the Food Giant day, I love to see this sign in the back ground of Say Anything, I think it might have been in Harry and the Hendersons too…

    I was refering to the style of the building. I saw what the sign said.
