Neighbor Appreciation Winners

  • Post author:

Hey, who’s that standing next to Mayor Mike McGinn? Why, it’s Helen Ippolito of Wallingford’s Hamilton School. Along with Page Robinson of Hamilton, she was one of the winners of the City’s Neighbor Appreciation Day Art Contest. As one of the top two winners, Helen’s art will be featured on greeting cards distributed at libraries and community centers around the city. Nice.

Oh, and that’s Councilmember O’Brien on the other side of her. His art appears nowhere that we’re aware of.

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.
