We will stick with the “hood” . Why this kind of competition?

The neighborhood community centers offer a $2 open gym play time. I don’ t know all of them but Loyal Heights is on Tuesdays 10 – 2 (I believe)
Certainly worth looking up and adding to the calendar.

Also the libraries have free story time.

rolf: I doubt that price includes the building. You’re probably paying rent on top of the $189K.

I go here way too much. However they need to keep the apple cider, no one else does it and its a main reason I keep coming back!

I know neighborhood blogs are good and all, but you’ve clearly got the Wallingford thing down. I’ve seen a sad decline in there main page posting in all their hood’s (and an increase in advertising costs) in NDM, it seems to me that they are more in it for the revenue then the news.

Hmm, I guess the neighborhood’s iconic sign is obligatory for Wallingford blogs. Wallyhood’s masthead is a little more creative with it, though, plus the background is a nice shout-out to us Lower Wallingfordites. And your name is better. And you have more personality. So I think I’ll stick around, at least for now.

This place keeps surprising me. Cheap drinks, better-than-expected food. We used to use Julia’s as our go-to place to eat with our toddler, but their food is consistently disappointing. Blue Star, however, keeps on giving and even offers grass-fed beef.

Comment on Old Tweedy, New Tenant by John Scott Tynes

Per an early Wallyhood story on Tweedy & Popp’s relocation, they moved because the building’s owner wouldn’t renew their long-term lease as he intends to redevelop the building into a four-story project sometime in the next couple of years:

Of course, given the recession, those plans may be on hold.

Comment on Big Hands Guy Returns by SaraB

I think I saw this guy on Tuesday! I was in Queen Anne at Wink Cupcakes and there was a man who looked very similar to the sketch the Not A Number folks released that was trying to “return” several Wink cupcakes t-shirts. A line formed, because the girl at the counter couldn’t figure out how to process a return without a receipt and he started to act very shifty. He claimed he was from out of town, leaving the next day, and that his wife had the receipt elsewhere. He went to retrieve said receipt and didn’t come back. When I left the store with my cupcakes, he was wandering the street. I’m almost positive this was the guy!
