Game Crazy closing

Jacqui writes: Hi there and greetings from the East end of Wallyhood - thought you might want to share this with our neighbors. The Game Crazy store inside Hollywood Video (2nd and 45th across from Dick's) is closing. They will be around about two weeks - I think the guy said Oct. 24 last night, but could be wrong. They are having the obligatory everything-must-go sale, with stuff around 30% - 40% off. Lots of games still available, including new and…

RoRo

A couple weeks back, we ran a short story about an interesting piece of public art. In the comments section, someone mentioned that they passed it on their way to RoRo, someone else asked how the food was, and a couple of folks responded that it was excellent. "RoRo?" we thought to ourselves. "What's Roro?" Somehow, we managed to let two and a half years pass since their opening and never have tried RoRo BBQ (3620 Stone Way N). This was…

Where’s Green Lake?

Back in February, we got an e-mail from a reader asking about the official borders for Wallingford. Specifically, there was some confusion about whether the area north of 50th, oftentimes referred to as Tangletown, was part of Green Lake or Wallingford. We did our homework, consulting with sources such as Zillow and Wikipedia, and confirmed what any sensible person must already know: Tangletown is part of Wallingford, who's official border runs along the north edge of 60th St., except around Meridian,…

Molly Moon to eliminate out corn syrup

We were a bit surprised to be told the other day that Molly Moon's ice cream contains corn syrup. We knew that the ice cream is made from a base bought from Snoqualmie Creamery (the "homemade" claim, we assume, means they mix the base with the flavorings in the homey-feeling store), and that while Molly Moon prides herself on the use of "local and organic ingredients", that just means that some of the ingredients they use are local and/or organic, not…
