Hi! We’d love to tell the neighborhood that we’re celebrating our 36th birthday this Saturday, October 27th at Wide World Books & Maps. Everything in the store will be 20% off, we’ll have a huge selection of Lonely Planet “hurt” guides at 50% off the cover price AND we’ll be serving birthday cake all day long! We don’t have sales very often, so this is your chance to save on all your travel gear, guide books, maps, luggage…

Mmmm….cake.

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.

    Wanted to share that this store also has quite a nice selection of books beyond their great travel book selection, both in fiction and non-fiction. I often shop there when looking for presents for my book loving friends (or myself). If you like books and you haven’t stopped in there you should! And the staff is very friendly and helpful also.
