The Monsters of Meridian Park

Imagine, if you will, an idyllic park setting where sounds of children's laughter and shrieks of delight fill the air.  You shade your eyes from the sun and catch a glimpse of someone sitting on a nearby bench.  Looking around, you discover that this person is at the park alone, which you find strange.  “Something’s not quite right,” you think, as you watch him wander through the playground.  Your instincts tell you that this person shouldn’t be anywhere near children.

Find your creative side

If you’ve ever found yourself lacking the same creative spirit others seem to use effortlessly, and to their fullest potential, then you might be interested in a course designed to tap into your own creative side.  According to Julia Cameron, author of The Artists’ Way, we are all creative, but “in order to retrieve your creativity, you need to find it.” Carol Battistoni and Kate Gavigan are firm believers in Cameron’s writing; so much so, they’ve created a 12-week course designed…

Ah yes, nothing says "Happy New Year" like crackling fresh, juicy apples, warm, dripping honey, and glistening, slimy fish heads. Where are we going…

While two are recovered, one more is lost

Hot on the heels of our missing/recovered Boxer pups story, we received a plea from new Wallingford neighbor, Brooke: His name is Tycho and he is a 4-year-old male, neutered Bengal cat.

We love him very much and want him to come home. If you see Tycho,…
