Oh no! Missing Frog Sweater! Sad little boy is missing the sweater he made with his mama! Awesome detailed drawing with frog's eyes on the hood. Call if you see it!: 701-7302. Another frog inside A Muddy Cup. Step inside for the first time, instantly this is my new favorite coffee shop. If the row of ceramic critters doesn't convince you, take a closer look at the fake deer head wearing sunglasses (her name is Chloe). And the rocking horse. Mathew…
Check it out: Molly Moon's totally empty. There is absolutely nobody here but me. Unnerving. Uh oh. Somebody has dropped their soccer drills. What's the team practicing instead? In the pale early evening sky, a pale very nearly full moon appears. Thousands of powdery whitish-blue insects float ever upward. Only today - they were all born at once and they'll all be gone tomorrow. A secret stash filled with bags of dog poop. Why? What a retro classic. Doesn't that look…
Here’s a rundown on some bits and pieces of news from Wallingford: New stuff A new hot dog stand called “Doggy Style” will open soon in the small space directly to the right of Big Wheel Auto Parts (4455 Stone Way N.).

The Share shelter at the Gift of Grace Lutheran Church in Wallingford opened its doors over a month ago to mixed reaction from the local community. The first of two public forums sponsored by the church to discuss shelter related issues took place on September 18th. If you were not able to attend that meeting, you can read a summary of the discussion or take a look at meeting notes on the church website. At the first public forum, a proposal…
They're firing up the griddles, mixing the batter and readying the spatulas over at the Senior Center this Sunday for another Pancake Breakfast! From 9 AM to 12 PM, it's a mere $5 for adults and $2.50 for children. Head down to the basement of the Good Shepherd Center at 4649 Sunnyside Ave. N. French Toast will also be available for those non-pancake aficionados. Sigh. Remember the good old days when these happened every month?
Have you gotten your pumpkins yet? If so, we'd love to see your mad carving skills on Wallyhood. Last week, we announced our first annual pumpkin carving contest with a deadline of Sunday, October 24 to send us your pictures; but we realize that might not give you enough time to create your work of art, so we've decided to extend the deadline from October 24 through to Halloween (Sunday, October 31). We'll announce the winners the following week and also…
