Bargain Raccoons Panhandling from SUV’s!

  • Post author:

Wallyhood’s Forums are full of insider’s information straight from readers.  Read on!

  • Panhandling From SUV’s – Unbelievably, several readers reported being asked for handouts from drivers of SUV’s around the neighborhood, especially along 50th Street.  As K2mosaics says, when you go out activate your “scam-dar”.
  • Bargain Vet Services – We love Fido and Fifi but why not shop around for lower fees?  These readers have found huge price differences for basic services and share their secrets.
  • Raccoons! – Speaking of critters, these readers have great suggestions for how to deal with raccoons.  They’re out there and we know you’ve seen them.
  • Should You Help? – Finally, Wallyhood’s “Bystander Intervention” post drew some fascinating opinions and anecdotes about our obligation to help when we notice others in trouble.  How far does our neighborly responsibility go?

Browse around and add to the collective conversation.  Or start your own post if you are seeking wisdom or have some to share.  We’re listening!

Helen has lived in Wallingford for 16 years and think it’s the best neighborhood in Seattle, possibly the world. She has worn a track between her house, QFC and the library and spends a lot time poking her nose into things. She is a mother, does volunteer work and is interested in local, green and child-related issues. She has an advanced degree in English literature and thus reads a lot and enjoys the craft of writing. She also works part-time for her husband’s software company (doesn’t everyone have a software company around here?).

    Raccoons?

    Is it time for thw Wallingford Burgoo* Festival again?

    MM – mmm – good!

    *At one time burgoo was a meal of wild game, such as turkey, quail, venison, squirrel, rabbit, opossum, or raccoon, that was slow-cooked outdoors in iron pots; chicken, vegetables, and pork were among the ingredients that came along later. It’s linked especially to Kentucky, where it has traditionally been served during the Kentucky Derby, though the Kentucky Post lamented in 2003 that “Burgoo’s heyday is gone”.
