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 so much fun! Thanks, W’hood, for the heads-up, and many thanks to everyone who put it all together. It was a really fun, (mostly) free way to spend an afternoon with a little girl who’s teething molars — she loved it, and we were relieved to get out of the house for a bit.
