Okay, ours might not be as impressive as the Roman Forum, but we welcome you to participate in our venues for Wallingford discussion (check your sword at the door). Got a neighborhood restaurant experience you want to tell about? Did you know Wallyhood has a place to rate and post reviews? There are also links to articles and reviews. Let the feasting begin! The new white LED streetlamps drew a lot of discussion from nocturnal types, in both the forums and…
Back in June, I wrote about Sutra Yoga (1605 N. 45th St.)--the cozy little neighborhood yoga studio sandwiched in between the 45th Street Clinic and Sutra Restaurant. Well today, Chris alerted us to Tippr's daily deal for Sutra: $20 for three weeks of unlimited classes. Twenty bucks! Normally, I pay $65 for a 5-class card! Grab the deal folks, because this is one of the best discounts I've seen so far. Better hurry, too--the Sutra Yoga offer on Tippr ends in…

This month at the Wallingford Community Council we meet to talk about the stuff that we supposedly endorsed by electing Mike McGinn. So come join us this Wednesday in room 202 of the Good Shepherd Center to discuss sustainability and road diets! The featured discussion led by Cathy Tuttle will be about sustainability updates to the Wallingford neighborhood plan. The update is supported by a $20,000 grant from the Department of Neighborhoods. Here is a description of the update from Cathy Tuttle:…
First Wednesday of the month is tomorrow, which means Art Walk time. Honestly, we were a bit surprised that the new co-chairs, Tara Shuttleworth and Katie McCallister, decided to make a go of it through the winter (in previous years, it's been summer-only). There were busy nights this past year, but also some pretty quiet ones. Add in the certainty of rain during the winter, and getting the crowds out will be a challenge. Re-Leaf Massage, Seattle Bank, Tangerine, Harold's Lamps…
Jailbreak! Chickens on the loose! In the raised bed nibbling on garden greens. Seattle early-fall specialty. Green tomatoes. (Can you spot more chickens behind?). This is exactly what my daughter would look like if she met the Medusa and turned into stone. Free firewood. Must have chain saw.
You may remember back in June, we posed a question in photos to you. The question has since been resolved and construction of the new climbing structure in the southwest corner of the John Stanford School play area is now under construction. The trucks must be operating during the day, because each evening when we visit the area with Baby Z, he declares repeatedly "No more trucks vooving, all done trucks vooving". "Yes," we tell him, "the trucks have completed their…
