Sounds like Operation Beautify Wallingford was a success. Kara Ceriello, the president of the Wallingford Chamber of Commerce said over 45 people showed up (including a contingent of 25 kids from the Wallingford Boys and Girls Club), Cafe Appasionnato provided the fuel, Fainting Goat provided free scoops for the kids and half price scoops for the adults, and Councilman Mike O’Brien shmoozed with the throngs. Kara forwarded on these pictures of the action.

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.

    John Stanford International School had 25 parents and kids turn out for their Beautification on Saturday. We dug weeds, spread wood chips, filled empty burlap coffee bean bags with wood chips for erosion control, and gave wheelbarrow rides. We had bagels donated by Noahs. Thanks to all!

    And also JSIS thanks Martin at Blooma Tree Experts for a free truckload of fresh wood chips. They smell and look great!
