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.
Just walked by there today, and the WALLINGFORD seems so much bigger — I guess cuz it’s closer to the road now. It’s like they’re announcing to the world “You’re in Wallingford!” I like it!
Yay, I LOVE this sign. I wish I had a photo of the crane lifting the W, and it dangling in the air. It was a beautiful moment.
