Tonight, Stone Soup Theater (4035 Stone Way North) will preview its newest production — The Real Inspector Hound and The Boundary, a “play within a play” comedy murder-mystery, directed by Zachariah Robinson.  The production will run Thursdays through Sundays beginning tonight (10/28), until November 21.

Here’s a summary from Stone Soup:

Toy Swap ‘n’ Sale

Comments are off

On a daily basis I look around my house and wonder why I have multiple bins, toy chests, and baskets full of toys.  I try to conquer and organize, but the task is endless.  Just yesterday I went through my son’s toys and got a bag together to donate, eliminating some of the clutter while thinking that the amount of toys my kid winds up with is astonishing, and it’ll just continue to grow if I don’t take a stand.  Seems now I have an easy solution to my child’s toy hoarding issues:  the CoolMom Holiday Toy Swap ‘N’ Sale…

Helping those in need: Wallingford House

With all the discussion going on about homelessness and Wallingford, I thought maybe it would be nice to feature some of the organizations in Wallingford that provide services to the homeless. The ones I know about are: FamilyWorks/Solid Ground and the 45th Street Clinic. Perhaps a volunteer profile as well? Seems like a lot of interest in what is being done locally and organizations to support other than SHARE.

Thanks, Kimberly

We thought this was a grand idea, and so we wanted to take some time and do a little research to profile each …

Golden Olive is Golden Again

2 Comments

Last weekend, as I perused the Wallyhood forums, I read about Golden Olive–the quaint, Greek restaurant that’s tucked away on 45th, next to City Cellars.  After being closed for nearly two months for a remodel, Golden Olive re-opened last Thursday.  Between the enthusiasm in the forums, a tip from reader Paul B., and Mr. Wallyhood’s review back in August ’09,  I was intrigued.

The restaurant’s cozy atmosphere made me feel as though I was sitting in my own dining room, surrounded by family photos on the wall and the smell of dinner cooking in the kitchen.

We were greeted by …
