Internationally known chanteuse and animal advocate Julie Cascioppo writes: Hi, I thought you might like this exciting piece of news. May 15th 3:30 PM: A Pigeon lost his way and found himself in Bartell Drugs on 45th. When I walked in the store the 2 managers were running after this poor bird, chasing it with sticks and baskets. Of course the bird was traumatized. But, so was the manager, as he's afraid if the bird doesn't leave the store, it will set off…

My apologies to all of the other Erics living in Wallingford, but we've received word that there's a man wandering around the neighborhood who introduces himself as "Eric" and may be responsible for recent burglaries in the neighborhood--particularly around Eastern Avenue. "Eric" is actually Jeffrey McCaslin who happens to be on Washington's Most Wanted list. Here's an email from Alison with all of the details: Hi everyone, I have more information about my burglary, so I thought I’d share it. I…

Flower thief in the neighborhood

We just got this disturbing email, complete with a photo and video from Craig about a flower thief who was caught red-handed on his security camera: My wife has a pretty great garden, it is just getting started this year since the spring hasn’t been that warm (yet).  We have had a number of odd incidents in our yard with flowers mysteriously being cut over the past few years.  I’ve been perplexed as to who would go and take flowers in…

Health tips from…Taco Time!?

Of all the fast food places in Seattle, Wallingford has a Taco Time housed in a building that looks more like a bank than a restaurant. And, not just any old bank mind you, but a 1980s throwback, complete with pink neon accoutrements. It's amazing how awkward that building looks when you compare it to the row of charming shops to the west; yet I can attest it's a busy place during lunchtime, which is why our neighborhood's Taco Time is…
