Come see Lincoln High School’s first musical, the Addams Family!

They’re creepy and their kooky, mysterious and spooky- the Addams Family is being performed on May 5th, 6th, and 7th at Ballard High School!

Leif Totusek, and Phil Sparks will be playing tonight (Wednesday) at Murphy’s Pub from 7-10pm.

These two are great musicians.  They play jazz standards, originals and the occasional adaption of an African tune.  They have been playing together for over twenty years.  A very convivial customer base enjoys their Saturday brunch gigs.

You may just spot some Wallyhood editors there too…

And if you can’t make it tonight, come out this Friday (2/18) for Murphy’s 30th Anniversary celebration with That Irish Guy.…

This weekend, I was delighted to pass by the grand opening of Loxicha, a new Mexican food truck situated behind Murphy’s pub. Not having had dinner yet, we had to pickup a few plates to take home. While we waited for our food, I got talking to one of the Cortez-Baños family. They are longtime Wallingford residents and are not new to the food business. They own another truck near Northgate.

Loxicha is a place in Oaxaca from where the family hails. The menu selections are enticing: we went for the carnitas, fish tacos and huevos a la Mexicana.…

Many of you have probably heard that Stoneway Hardware, our 34-year-old, beloved neighborhood store, will be closing soon.
