Talk o’ the Town (Wallytown at least!)

Have you ever noticed that "Forums" button near the top of the Wallyhood page?   Click it!  See what your neighbors are saying, start your own conversation, ask for recommendations -- heck, you can even find someone on the Forum who might be willing to lend you a gardening tool. Here are some highlights from current Forums discussions: A Wallyhood reader suffered the loss of a Burley kids bike trailer last weekend.  Check out the description, and let 'em know if you…

Goodbye, Ol’ Paint

Nah, we're not knocking off horses, we're just suggesting that you, like us, may have some old cans of unwanted paint in your basement somewhere, cluttering things up. You want to throw them away, but know you shouldn't. You want to donate them, but it's kind of a hassle. Maybe you'll use them someday for a project with your kid. Maybe someday you'll have a kid. In honor of Earth Day, the fine folks at Reed Painting Company will come to…

The Wallingford Art Walk is going to start up soon, but, as much as we love it, it's only once per month. What are we supposed to do the other 30 days? Well, we figured we could create a do-it-yourself art walk of Wallingford: a map of all the outdoor, free to visit pieces of art that are scattered around the neighborhood. We've started the map, below, but we were wondering if you could help us out, since we know that…

It has been a long ten days, but thankfully, it has only been ten since the Wallingford Flex Cat went missing. Today an alert neighbor down in the lower hood heard some meowing coming from a construction site on Sunnyside; a home just a few doors away from Bodhi's is in the final stages of a remodel. The hood's beloved feline must have wandered in when someone was there to share his wealth of love and then gotten accidentally locked inside.…
