So, for the second month, we were somewhat underwhelmed by Wallingford Art Walk. Not many people out, not many businesses seeming to participate, few artists actually with their work. What up, Wallingford? We checked in with Art Walk organizer Tara Shuttleworth, who said she'd welcome some feedback from the community. So, we turn it to, Walliingford, how do you think it's going? For our piece, we love the idea of a Wallingford Art Walk, neighbors mingling with each other amidst cutting…
The good peeps at Seattle Weekly have put together a fun food competition called Seattle's Neighborhood Snackdown! where readers are encouraged to vote for the best neighborhood for good eatin'. I'm pretty confident that we've got some of the best eatin' digs in all of Seattle. We bested Madrona last week and have moved to the second round of the contest where we're now up against Fremont. Now, I'll be the first to tell ya that Fremont's got some pretty good…

Rodger Biasca just sent us this sad news: Arno Llorente was known to many Wallingford residents, usually seen hanging out along 45th as he trekked daily from his apartment near Molly Moon's to his son Steve's house on Thackeray. About noon today (9/7), Arno collapsed. He was transported to Harborview, but they were unable to revive him. He had many friends, and we don't know who all they were, so we thought Wallyhood would be a good way to let people…
Back in January, we told you all about the super cool Geeks Who Drink Monday night trivia at Blue Star Cafe & Pub (4512 Stone Way N.), where teams compete against one another to claim the top geek spot of the night. Now, the Wallingford COMMUNITY Senior Center (WCSC) is looking for a few good "geeks" to come and join in the fun, and to help raise money for the Center. Geeks Who Drink is holding a special "Quiz for a…
